🎄🌭 At Teknologisk Institut, we're embracing the holiday spirit by reimagining a classic favorite: the frankfurter.   As part of our commitment to sustainable food solutions, we've been exploring ways to optimise sausage recipes by incorporating more vegetables. Our latest research focused on replacing a portion of meat with chickpeas (known for their use in falafel) and substituting most of the liquid content with vegetables.   The results? 🌿 Delicious frankfurters that not only contribute to a greener future but also tempt the taste buds.   Yesterday our many patient colleagues participated in a blind taste test, and the findings were fascinating: - Most participants found it challenging to distinguish between the three recipes - The clear favorite was the sausage containing 70% meat and 30% chickpeas   🎁🌍 This result demonstrates that we can create more sustainable food options without compromising on taste or texture. It's our gift to both consumers and the environment this holiday season. #foodInnovation #happyholiday

Just came across a fantastic article in Food Business News—thanks to the American Culinary Federation's newsletter—that highlights how Gen Z is driving demand for sustainable, high-quality food. A recent YouGov survey shows that over half of Gen Z consumers are willing to pay more for environmentally sustainable products and prioritize companies that lower their environmental impact. This aligns perfectly with the key themes of my book Understanding the Green Industrial Revolution: An Interdisciplinary Look at the Hospitality Industry. Gen Z's focus on transparency and climate-smart practices is a strong signal that sustainability isn't just a trend—it’s a mandate by our guests and the future of food and hospitality. #GreenRevolution #SustainableFood #EcoChef #GenZ
