Vegetables in the
Natural flavor
Innovative
In recent years, vegetables have increasingly played the starring role in many recipes. And that definitely doesn't have to be boring! Smoked watermelon from a restaurant, for example, went viral because the dish looked exactly like smoked ham.2 And cauliflower is becoming increasingly popular as a substitute for meat, served as a cauliflower steak, for example3. These exciting and innovative dishes give vegetables a more prominent role in the kitchen, both at home and when eating out.

Taste comes first
Le Duc is happy to jump on board with this trend. Vegetables are the central element of our products: they give them a natural and intense flavor. We use what nature has to offer us! Broccoli, for example, is the main ingredient of our Dutch-Style Broccoli Cheese Burger. Thanks to the chunks of broccoli, you can not only taste the vegetables but also see them. Our plant-based Mexican Style Bean Burger contains chunks of red bell pepper and corn in addition to beans. Real veggie burgers, filled with nature.
The meat substitute shelf in the supermarket has expanded enormously in recent years, and the hospitality industry is also putting more and more vegetarian options on the menu. Many meat substitutes try to imitate the taste of meat to make vegetarian dishes resemble the original meat version as much as possible. However, the taste of the product itself often disappoints. And that is a real shame. Because no matter how sustainable a product is, taste is often still the most important thing. For example, 42% of Europeans say that they are eating meat substitutes more often than they did a year ago, but 37% also want vegetarian products that taste better.1
More and more people think it is important to make sustainable choices, also when it comes to what they put on the table for dinner. That is why people increasingly opt for a vegetarian or vegetable-based meal. In recent years, this trend has been reflected in supermarkets and the hospitality industry. Vegetables are playing an increasingly important role in dishes and products.
