UK shoppers use legumes to cut costs
UK shoppers increased their purchases of beans, lentils, and soy-based products by 7.3% in the first half of 2026, driven by a surge in upmarket and organic varieties. Sales of canned butter beans rose by 30.3%, while fake meat products declined by 4.3%, reflecting a shift toward simpler, higher-fibre, and more affordable plant-based foods. This trend is linked to rising food inflation, changing dietary preferences, and campaigns promoting legume consumption for health and environmental benefits.
