Vegetable Rice: new trend product for healty nutrition

The cooking and eating habits have been changing over the past years. Healthy nutrition has come to the fore more and more. One new trend, which came to the centre of attention at the PMA Fresh Summit in New Orleans, USA,  is the so-called vegetable rice, namely broccoli and cauliflower stems or also carrots cut in smallest pieces and resembling rice.

The product targets to those consumer groups preferring food which is healthy and rich of vegetables or having decided to live and eat even fully vegetarian. On the one side it can be seen as a substitution for regular rice and as such it is a completely new food option, which can be used as a main dish component (e.g. for risotto) but as a side dish as well. On the other side, the vegetable rice fulfils the demand of many consumers who value nutritious food and appreciate convenient and quick preparation at the same time.
 

Vegetable rice can be processed with the KRONEN cube, strip and slice cutting machine KUJ V in a fast and easy way. Hence, one can cut small, oblong vegetable strips from different sorts of vegetables using various alignments such as a format of 3 x 3 x 5 mm.
