Article Synopsis
- Growing concerns about health, animal welfare, and environmental impact are driving interest in plant-based foods, which prompted a study on consumer preferences regarding innovative legume-based gnocchi among 127 Spanish consumers.
- Most participants showed high environmental awareness and trust in plant-based products, but their willingness to pay (WTP) was only moderate and negatively affected by taste testing.
- The study provides valuable insights for producers and marketers of plant-based foods in Spain, highlighting factors that influence consumer behavior and suggesting the need for additional research to further understand these dynamics.
