Nuts are increasingly consumed by consumers because they are naturally healthy and great-tasting. They are also more and more used in plant-based treats and beverages - a growing category. Discover inspiring launches and NPD strategies, and dream about your next plant-based creations with our delicious vegan and dairy-free nut products.

Nuts in plant-based products

Nuts are increasingly used in plant-based applications: they can be used to replace cow’s milk but also to bring great taste, texture and nutrition to the final product. Almond is now the number 1 milk alternative in plant-based beverages, representing more than $1bn in sales in the US alone (source 1). Hazelnut and cashew are also increasingly popular.

The Western European non-dairy market is expected to keep being extremely dynamic (Source 2)

Dairy-free beverages: +9.8% CAGR, reaching 3.4bn€
Dairy-free yogurts: + 8.7% CAGR reaching 925m€
Dairy-free ice cream: +13.1% CAGR reaching 241m€

The plant-based trend

NPD strategy: Taste first

Taste is the key purchase driver for consumers. Nuts enable brands to enter the plant-based market with indulgent products that can be catering to everyone: consumers on a vegan diet or not.

Newly-launched products are tasty and tell stories: single origin nuts, quality and taste cues (praliné), ... See below a few examples:

Pastoret (Spain) almond-based yogurt, peach and passionfruit flavored. Made with Marcona almond and Pyrenean water.

Candia (France): indulgent and nutritious almond-based drink. A silky texture is expected thanks to the link to “praliné almonds”.

Roar (United Kingdom): an extra-indulgent hazelnut and chocolate cookie ice cream. Hazelnut-based.

Love Raw (United Kingdom): as delicious as the famous hazelnut-filled wafer bar, yet vegan
