Sustainable Packaging
With the growing awareness of today’s environmental issues, attention has been brought to some much-needed changes in food packaging. Many companies have ditched plastic and styrofoam in favor of sustainable, biodegradable, and recyclable packaging.
One example of this includes Fortnum & Mason’s carbon-neutral sailboat egg, which now comes in reusable packaging that is 100% free of plastic. Another is Selfridge’s Oat Milk Egg, which has packaging that is now completely plastic-free and is fully recyclable. Some other brands making the change include Buttermilk, Happi Orange, Cox & Co., and Cadbury.
Vegan Easter Egg Goodies
It’s been a couple of years since vegan eggs began trending, but vegan chocolate Easter eggs make up a whole other level of goodness. The market for Easter candy options that are non-dairy has been growing steadily for a while now. Many companies now offer a variety of plant-based products that are not only ethical but also sinfully delicious.
Some of the best vegan Easter egg treats to look for in 2022 include:
- H!P Chocolate Eggs
- Hotel Chocolate vegan Easter eggs (infused with refreshing mint oil)
- Nomo hazelnut Easter eggs
- The Mummy Meagz eggs (GMO-free and vegan)
Easter treat trends this year are anything but ordinary. The novelty brings a new dash of fun to the holiday. Adults haven’t been left out of the trend, either; new alcoholic treats that are perfect for a bit of well-deserved indulgence include Easter eggs made with wine, IPA, and even a gin and tonic-flavored egg.
