Gluten Mimicry

As gluten-free becomes a widely embraced choice, more replacements are seen

Implications - Originally reserved for those with celiac disease, gluten-free diets have become a choice for the health-conscious as well -- which in today's society, is a huge number of consumers. Not willing to give up the comforts of carbs, the gluten-free set is finding carb mimicking products and recipes to converge their health needs with the sense of comfort necessary in the world of foods, no matter how experimental.
Trend Themes
1. Carb Mimicking Products - Gluten-free consumers are finding carb mimicking products and recipes as a healthier alternative to traditional carb-loaded favorites.
2. Cauliflower as a Replacement - Cauliflower is being used as a versatile and healthier alternative to traditional grains and carbs.
3. Plant-based Alternatives - Plant-based alternatives to grains and glutinous dish bases are gaining popularity among health-conscious consumers.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - The food and beverage industry can explore innovative and healthier alternatives to traditional carb-loaded favorites.
2. Health and Wellness - The health and wellness industry can capitalize on the trend of plant-based alternatives and promote them as healthier options.
3. Retail and CPG - The retail and CPG industry can develop and market carb mimicking products and plant-based alternatives for consumers seeking healthier options.
