Sample Fruit Pro Trends - Each Fruit PRO Trend is on its own slide with implications, a quantified score, and examples linked to online fruit articles, videos and images. Examples:

SAMPLE Flavor Hybridization Brands are turning to solid edibles for flavor inspiration Implications - Brands, particularly those in the beverage industry, are turning to seemingly unrelated food sources for flavoring inspiration. This not only reflects a more experimental consumer base, but one that also views food and beverage as more intertwined when it comes to flavor. Breakfast Maple Whiskies The Knob Creek 'Smoked Maple' Whiskey is an Evening Delight Alcoholic Maple Drinks Tree Spirits Knotted Maple Will Perk Up Your Pancakes in the Morning Flavor Hybridization Brands are turning to solid edibles for flavor inspiration 5 Examples + Score + Implications	SAMPLE Nutrient Analysis Taking control of food quality, consumers are turning to detection technology Implications - Offering health-conscious consumers a way to ensure they're getting proper nutrition through their food purchases, nutrient analysis tools are becoming a more prevalent solution to food quality. Providing a sense of control, these innovations speak to a consumer desire for quality assessment of their purchased goods.

This is mirrored and skewed in Asian markets, as experimental flavor combinations are booming, particularly in casual eating. This speaks to a general desire for adventure, even in the realm of everyday cuisine.

SAMPLE Subscription Food Memberships to food services reflect a desire for culinary convenience Implications - Memberships to food subscription services are catered towards those with busy lifestyles along with discerning tastes when it comes to cuisine. The popularity of these services, as well as the niche products that they deliver, speaks to consumers who wish for convenience as well as an air of exclusivity, a combination that could provide a valuable opportunity for businesses in a variety of industries.

This has prompted a more tangible marriage of food and art as restaurateurs, chefs and lounge owners begin incorporating more culture into dining. This adds prestige to the experience, redefining the term "fine dining" to include an entire elite lifestyle. Art-Inspired Dining The Pisacco Restaurant & Bar is a Contemporary Eatery in Milan Cinematic Dining Experiences This Pop-Up Dining Experience in NYC Blends Fine Food and Film Regally Vintage Italian Eateries The 'Barbatella' Italian Eatery in Naples is Vintage and Lavish Geeky Museum Eateries The CW Restaraunt in South Korea is a Geek Paradise to Get a Meal Painting-Inspired Snacks The San Francisco Museum of Art is Offering Visitors Artistic Treats Cultured Dining Art and culture adds prestige to the dining experience 6 Examples + Score + Implications	SAMPLE Mundane Play Children imitate the everyday tasks of adulthood during playtime Implications - The independence that comes with growing up is appealing for obvious reasons; however, the responsibility that accompanies this independence is often pushed to the background. In an attempt to give children full understanding of what it means to be an adult, toys are now reflecting more realistic aspects of being a grown-up. This increases a child's chance of being a well-informed, critical-thinking adult in the future.
