EHL Ingredients has revealed a new range of organic ingredients and blends for the foodservice industry as it responds to growing demands for global foods and world flavours.
Called Lähde, the range consists of herbs and spices as well as EHL’s full range of blends and seasonings. Vegan, vegetarian, organic, and gluten-free ingredients and blends are also available.
Lähde will be headed up by a new, dedicated foodservice team. EHL said the products are designed for international dishes and accompaniments, sweet and savoury baked products, meat marinades, soups and sauces, meat, fish and vegetable meals, as well as curries, stews and tagines.
The new brand features a Scandinavian-style logo, in keeping with the name, which means ‘source’ in Finnish, and colours and graphics will change depending on the ingredient or blend.
EHL Ingredients joint managing director Tasneem Backhouse said: “We’ve been working closely with the foodservice sector to offer our food ingredients and blends so it made sense for us to develop a dedicated, recognisable brand.
“We wanted to make our products as versatile as possible for chefs to incorporate quality, fully traceable ingredients into their international dishes and recipes. This is increasingly important to the end consumer and can support sales growth for the foodservice businesses working with us.
“With growing demand for authentic global foods, world flavours and tasty dishes on menus, chefs would be wise to invest in a core range of quality herbs and spices, as well as our ingredient blends and seasonings. Lähde gives chefs the option to do just that and we’re looking forward to working with foodservice providers in the sector.”
“We will be supplying our full range of herbs, spices, nuts, seeds, pulses and grains, oils and vinegars, as well as our spice blends, in organic and conventional formats, to allow chefs to develop innovative international dishes for menus. Adding spices and blends brings colour, flavour, texture and taste to dishes, accompaniments and snacks, so it’s essential for the sector to offer quality, authentic foods for today’s well-travelled and culturally diverse consumers.”
