The demand for plant-based sweet treats is rising not only because of health benefits, it caters to people with restrictive diets. Cauliflower buffalo wings are a popular no-meat option in restaurants and the frozen aisle. Now, cauliflower as ice cream?
From the Ugly to A Sweet Treat
Cauliflower is a perfect base for most innovations as it has a mild taste. It doesn’t have an overpowering taste and could be a blank canvas for bold flavors. A challenge has occurred for this produce, cauliflower we might see in the supermarket has gone through a visual audit. The undesirable cauliflower is thrown away because it is too “ugly” to be sold.
Eat Kinda
A New Zealand startup, EatKinda, has introduced a new way to make this “ugly” produce turned into something people want to eat. They make ice cream out of cauliflower with familiar flavors such as strawberry, chocolate, and mint chocolate chips.
Room for Innovation
Finding the right formulation for alternative treats lies in the flavor and texture. Versatile ingredients are hard to come by, especially those that elevate flavor.
