Top Food Trends to Watch in 2025

Top Food Trends for 2025: Nutrient-Dense Superfoods, Functional Beverages, and Minimal Processing . . .

As we move into 2025, the food industry is evolving to meet the demand for healthier, more natural options. Consumers are increasingly focused on nutrition, convenience, and the transparency of their food choices. At Taranaki Bio Extracts, we’re staying ahead of these trends with our commitment to premium, nutrient-rich B2B ingredients that meet the needs of today’s conscious consumers.

Here are the top food-related trends to watch in 2025:

  1. Nutrient-dense superfoods

Superfoods have been on the rise for several years, but in 2025, the focus will be on nutrient-dense options that offer multiple health benefits in a single serving. Nutrient-dense superfoods are packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other health-boosting compounds, making them an appealing choice for consumers looking to optimise their diets.

TBE’s role:
At Taranaki Bio Extracts, we produce beef bone broth and extracts that are rich in nutrients like collagen, amino acids, and minerals. These ingredients support joint health, immune function, and gut health, making them ideal for brands catering to health-conscious consumers. Our products are created from 100% New Zealand free-range, grass-fed beef, ensuring a high-quality, natural source of nutrition.

  1. Functional beverages on the rise

Functional beverages are expected to dominate the market in 2025, with more consumers seeking convenient drinks that offer specific health benefits. From gut-boosting kombuchas to collagen-infused waters, functional beverages are designed to provide more than just hydration.

TBE’s role:
Our bone broth extracts are ideal for functional beverages, adding a rich source of collagen, protein, and essential nutrients. Bone broth beverages have gained popularity for their ability to support joint health, gut health, and skin elasticity. At TBE, we supply premium-grade bone broth that can be used in a range of functional drink formulations, giving brands the flexibility to meet diverse consumer needs.

  1. Minimal processing, maximum nutrition

As consumers become more informed, there’s a growing preference for minimally processed foods that retain their natural goodness. Minimal processing helps preserve the nutritional profile of ingredients, allowing consumers to benefit from natural flavours and nutrients without additives or extensive processing.

TBE’s role:
Our production processes are designed to maximise nutrition while maintaining a clean, natural product. By using traditional methods like pressure cooking and incorporating all natural ingredients, we ensure that our beef bone extracts retain their full nutritional value with minimal processing. This commitment to quality aligns with consumer preferences for clean-label, nutritious food products.

Embracing the future of food . . .

As these trends gain momentum, Taranaki Bio Extracts is dedicated to supporting brands that align with the demands of modern consumers. From nutrient-dense superfoods to functional beverages and minimally processed products, we’re ready to help our B2B partners deliver innovative, health-focused options in 2025 and beyond.
