About the Vegetable Report - The Vegetable Trend Report examines food trends popular with consumers, with a focus on raw foods, hydroponic vegetables, healthy snacks and DIY recipes. The health benefits from fruits, salads, green vegetables and organic produce is causing a shift in consumer eating habits and food choices. We examine how meals like gourmet vegetable soup and homemade vegetable juice are becoming staples in today’s diets. We explore different consumer options, like farmer’s markets, health food stores and grocers like Whole Foods and Planet Organic. Finally, our research delves into the world of vegetarianism and looks at how that lifestyle is affecting fast food chains such as McDonald’s and Tim Horton’s.

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

SAMPLE Home Purification Self-sanitizing items give peace of mind to those looking to ensure their health Implications - With cases of illness and disease constantly making the headlines of newspapers and online media, consumers are subsequently becoming more concerned with maintaining their health amid such viral dangers. Self-sanitizing products allow homeowners to take precautions against the spread of certain bacterial properties, combining high-tech features with the need for health-improving items that provide peace of mind.

Aiding the novice chef, accessories that shape, display or help augment food to be more aesthetically appealing place higher currency on display rather than taste. This shift from taste to presentation speaks to the culture surrounding cooking shows and celebrity chefs that consumers learn to imitate visually, but never taste-wise.

While advertising has intentionally made the ambiguous connection to products as a method to soothe consumer woes for decades, this new pill-focused approach cuts straight to the chase as marketers take an unabashedly literal direction to push product to cure-craving consumers.

Speaking to the curious eater who craves home-cooked meals, but doesn't have the time to make them, the flavors are nostalgic and thus, as mentally stimulating as they are taste-wise. This offers a total sensory experience to evoke sentimentality and a sense of camaraderie with brands.
