🎄🌭 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

I had this conversation with a podcast host just the other day. It may not seem obvious, but the #Hospitality industry has a direct impact on consumer eating trends and choices - going well beyond the restaurant experience. Chefs are now akin to artists, innovators and storytellers through their menus and plates 🍽️ . And, at no other time in history have our choices been influenced so heavily by social media, marketing and peer influence. 📣 Their role in the bigger #sustainability story comes with the opportunity to help improve our food system on a global scale and positively impact people and the environment. 🌍 #Chefs, we need you to take bold steps. 👣
