Among the trends that Simplot and Datassential will explore is the growth of plant based menus in the restaurant and foodservice space. “The growth of plant based menu items has been fascinating to watch,” noted Simplot’s Lindzee Baree. “At Simplot, we have our eye on the flexitarian diet and how consumers are moving to incorporate more plant forward choices in their everyday diet. Our operator customers are able to craft some incredible center of the plate dishes with our grains, vegetables, fruits and potatoes. With continued innovation from chefs and manufacturers in the plant-based space, we believe this trend will continue to grow over the coming years.”
Barree, Simplot’s director of Foodservice marketing, has crafted the Webinar series with an eye toward’s the ‘New Normal’. “Our goal is to provide our operator and distributor customers latest on the tastes and trends shaping today’s foodservice landscape,” she concluded.
