Consumer demand for products that nourish mental health, offer time-saving convenience on the rise The emotional and physical strains caused by events in 2020 have shined a light on the need for and accelerated development of foods and beverages that not only nourish consumers’ physical bodies, but their mental health as well, according to Rabobank analysts and lifestyle experts.
