Opening Insight — Why Super Plant Powders Are Leading the Future of Nutrition
At FHC Shanghai Global Food Trade Show (Nov 12–14, 2025), Lee's mum (Shanghai) Industry Development Co.,Ltd. brought a fresh perspective to the global conversation on natural, functional nutrition.
This year’s event confirmed one clear trend:
Consumers want cleaner, more functional, and more convenient nutrition formats — and plant-based powders are becoming the backbone of next-generation food & beverage innovation.
From global brand buyers to functional food formulators, visitors showed growing interest in natural energy, antioxidant support, gut wellness, and daily nutrition delivered through simple, potent, and portable formats.
From Botanical Ingredients to Lifestyle Solutions — What We Presented at FHC 2025
At this year’s exhibition, we showcased a curated portfolio of super plant powders, representing both our ingredient capabilities and consumer-ready concepts.
🌿 Hero Botanical Ingredients (Super Plant Powder Series)
Our featured ingredients included:
- Saffron Threads & Saffron Powder (Daily mood balance, antioxidant support)
- Chia Seeds & Chia Seed Powder (Omega-3, fibre, satiety — ideal for “clean energy” products)
- Vanilla Beans, Vanilla Powder & Vanilla Extract (Premium flavor + natural aroma solutions)
- Turmeric Powder (Curcumin-rich anti-inflammatory support)
- Kale Powder, Acai Berry Powder (High-antioxidant plant powders for blends & beauty-from-within)
Each ingredient is aligned with Europe & North America’s rapid shift toward Clean Label + Organic + Functional formulation systems.
🥤 Consumer-Ready “One Stick a Day” Concept Products
To help brands visualize real commercial applications, we presented single-serve stick packs, promoting an easy lifestyle:
“One drink a day. One stick per moment.”
Visitors resonated strongly with this format, seeing potential in categories such as:
- On-the-go wellness drinks
- Functional beauty powder mixes
- Digestive fibre blends
- Natural energy & focus formulas
- Plant-based meal supplement sachets
This demonstration helped international brands understand how our ingredients integrate seamlessly into finished-product innovation.
Market Trends Reinforced at FHC — Clean Label, Organic, Functional
2025’s FHC Shanghai reveals three dominant movements:
✔ Clean Label + Short Ingredients List
Consumers want simplicity and know exactly what they are consuming.
Super plant powders fit this trend naturally.
✔ Organic & Sustainable Supply Chains
European and U.S. buyers continue to prioritize USDA/EU Organic, traceability, and residue-free safety standards.
✔ Functional Nutrition as Daily Ritual
Mood, focus, gut health, immunity, and antioxidant protection are rising as everyday needs — not niche concepts.
Plant powders such as saffron, chia, turmeric, kale, acai, and vanilla are now seen as multi-benefit building blocks for future product pipelines.
