Tuttofood Fair in Milan: Showcasing Italian Dining Habits and Innovative Food Products

Meat that is not meat, pasta that is not pasta and many other curious novelties. The Tuttofood fair returns to Fiera Milano from October 22nd to 26th, the fair of the agri-food galaxy that will present the habits of Italians at the table. In particular, companies are making efforts to promote the consumption of healthy and alternative food, as also demonstrated by the products, all highly innovative, selected for the first edition of the Better Future Award, a prize dedicated to food excellences present at the event. Among the novelties of Tuttofood there are many proposals of 'super' foods, from stuffed pasta to parmesan reggiano or swordfish and lime, to fresh egg fusilli pasta, up to sauces in nuggets. Algae, the super food still too little present on our tables. There is also growing interest from consumers, companies and investors in vegetable-based proteins, microorganisms or animal cells. There will be no shortage of hamburgers, chicken, dairy products and fish not of animal origin: whether we speak of plant-based (derived from vegetables) or cell-based (derived from tissues of cells grown in the laboratory), several brands will present substitutes for traditional products capable of mimicking the aroma, flavor and consistency of products of animal origin. Trendy also 'without' products, from many gluten free proposals to those of deli meats with a reduced percentage of fats, without lactose, gluten, glutamate and added polyphosphates. There are also substitutes for rice and pasta with a low carbohydrate content, thanks to products based on vegetables and legumes such as cauliflower-based pasta, broccoli, in addition to legumes such as chickpeas, lentils and peas.
