With the aim of emulating the success of its Protein range, Naturya introduces a 20-strong line-up of award-winning, convenient superfood solutions to the market.

Naturya’s tranche of added value and convenient superfood innovations are designed to help retailers capitalise on the explosion in demand for products containing superfoods in 2022 and beyond. 

The trailblazing superfoods specialist is targeting incremental sales with its impressive line-up of 20 new products, which now take the brand beyond single ingredients into complete and convenient superfoods solutions for breakfast, lunch, snacking, baking, desserts, and drinks.

Post-pandemic consumer search for superfoods

“Our latest research into the behaviours and habits of consumers post-pandemic highlights the huge size and scale of the superfoods opportunity, which is set to explode over the next year and beyond,” advised Lewis Black, Marketing Director at Naturya. “Half of all consumers want a greater choice and variety of superfoods available in stores, with over a third (34 per cent) saying they would be encouraged to buy more superfoods if it was easier to find them in store. Consumers also want to see superfoods available in more types of products and in aisles around the store, 35 per cent want to see them in store cupboard essentials, 29 per cent in snacking, 23 per cent in cereal and 17 per cent in baking*.

“In the same way that ‘protein’ has seen exponential growth with consumers recognising it provides an added health benefit to many food and drink categories, ‘superfoods’ is on that same growth trajectory. 

“We’re seeing more and more people actively looking for products containing superfoods for breakfast, lunch, snacks, desserts, and drinks because these products consistently deliver natural and organic benefits that are scientifically proven. We also know that people are prepared to pay a price premium for products that contain superfoods and so there is a significant opportunity for retailers to stock up, promote and display superfood products in store and trade shoppers up across multiple categories. Our research shows 77 per cent of consumers would be prepared to pay a price premium for products containing superfoods.”

“As the home of superfoods with an established and fast-growing brand, we are perfectly placed to support customers and retailers by providing the highest quality products and integrating the many benefits of superfoods into a multitude of categories where consumers are looking for healthier alternatives. We’ve been hard at work developing an extensive new portfolio of added value convenient superfoods which meet the demands of today’s health-conscious and time-poor consumers and offer a deliciously nutritious superfood solution for every occasion,” he continued. 

“Our backed-by-science superfoods range has been developed with specific consumer needs including immunity support and gut health at its core and we’re incredibly excited to launch our products onto the market. We look forward to working in partnership with trade customers to help realise the huge incremental sales and growth opportunity.”
