Consumers increasingly want to make ethical food choices, because ‘you are what you eat’. Food should not be just good for themselves, but also for the planet and for future generations. We call this the ethical lifestyle trend, which is one of the nine global trends revealed by the latest Taste Tomorrow survey. This recipe for DIM’s fits perfectly within this trend.
Care for the planet, people and food for future generations
An ethical lifestyle can be pursued in many ways, such as by using sustainably produced products, by limiting plastic packaging and by using zero waste packaging. Animal welfare and locally sourced food are also important, as are preventing or reducing food waste (these five concepts do this in a brilliant way). But making ethical food choices also relates to dishes with natural and sustainable ingredients.
DIM’s recipe
That’s why we developed this DIM’s recipe for you. It fits perfectly within the ethical lifestyle trend, but also in the craft trend and the transparency trend. This gluten-free dessert, shaped like dim sum, is made with natural and sustainable ingredients. It’s an explosion of textures and flavours with the freshness of a pineapple brunoise with lime, ginger and fresh coriander.
