Consumers around the world have given carbs a second chance as comfort food came back into favour during the height of the pandemic.<\/p>    <p>In foodservice, experimentation has given rise to artisan breads and pastas made in-house. A plant-based caf\u00e9 in Spain serves twists on traditional recipes, such as a buckwheat risotto with pumpkin cream and roasted eggplant, and raw veggie noodles topped with tomato-cashew cream sauce and spiced almonds.<\/p>    <p>Sustainability and health come into play for the carb-focused snack category, with popcorn-like water lily seed snacks and air-popped quinoa chips delivering satisfying yet light flavour. \u201cActivated\u201d crisps in the UK are made with sprouted sorghum that has been soaked to allow for better nutrient digestion\u2014a more functional approach to a classic snack. <\/p>    <p>The carb resurgence aligns with the protein category, too, as items like filled pastas and batters put a more wholesome spin on product development.  From high-protein, high-fiber Saudi Arabian chickpea flour to a Canadian company producing tempura batter with konjac root powder, tapioca starch and psyllium husk\u2014alternative flours put a more wholesome spin on traditional coatings.<\/p>    <p>Looking to fuel innovation across menus and product categories?

While carbohydrates are found in many forms and foods, the key is to focus on whole fruits and vegetables, whole grains and legumes that offer a variety of carbohydrate structures along with other beneficial nutrients. With these foods as the primary sources of carbohydrates, we receive not just energy but nutrient-dense options that support gut health, heart health, immune function and more.
