Healthy Food
The aim of the healthy food program (Miosotis HF - Healthy Food) is to put innovative healthy food products on the market.
​
The purpose of Miosotis Healthy Food Program (Miosotis HF) is to manufacture healthy food products:
- Highly innovative, 100% vegetable, including 100% vegetable fat.
- Hypocaloric, of high palatability and of high nutritional value for human health.
- Intended to be consumed between meals, at breakfast and snacks or before meals to suppress hunger and reduce appetite.
- To introduce healthy eating habits, based on Mediterranean food.
- To replace starters of pates and butter that are rich in saturated fat and of low nutritional value;
Innovative production techniques will be used to help preserve micronutrients and the natural quality of food.
The search for healthy foods is increasingly a concern of the most demanding consumers.
​
This trend grows if Mediterranean flavours and products are associated with healthy quality foods.
​
Market studies indicate that 80% of citizens are willing to buy foods with a higher nutritional value.
​
Most supermarket chains have started to include healthy food areas in their stores and restaurants that include healthy food on their menus are growing by 20% a year.
​
The healthy food market has grown by 12% a year in recent years. In Portugal, between 2008 and 2018, the vegetarian market grew by 514% and the number of vegetarian establishments grew by 614%.
