Kagome Introduces Plant-based Butter for Foodservice, Chefs
With more and more consumers transitioning to plant-based products and plant-based lifestyles, Kagome USA’s innovative line of plant-based butter alternatives offers restaurant owners and chefs the ability to drive consumer interest and bring in new customers. Made with a blend of sunflower oil, coconut oil, and cocoa butter, Kagome’s Plant-Based Butter Alternatives feature both sweet blends—such as Cinnamon & Brown Sugar and Hot Honey—and savory blends—such as Chipotle & Sun-Dried Tomato and Miso Ginger—to diversify and enhance both spectrums of the menu.
Providing vegetarian options and utilizing locally sourced ingredients are not new trends in the food industry. It is consumers—particularly younger consumers—who are committing to plant-based foods that is propelling restaurant owners to adapt. Patrons are not considering just their own health benefits with their eating habits. Growing awareness about the environmental impact of meat and dairy is strongly impacting their desire to make more sustainable choices at eateries and fast-food chains.
