Flavor of the Week: Plant-based Buffalo Cauliflower

If you’re looking for a way to draw in consumers who focus on plant-based eating with some traditional bar fare, there may be no better way than adding buffalo cauliflower to your menu.

Cauliflower has been a star low-carb replacement for pizza crust for some time, allowing those on keto or other low-carb diets to enjoy a pie of their choice. Buffalo cauliflower has the same potential to convert chicken wing loyalists looking to eat less meat.

The tangy/spicy sauce stays the same, so consumers feel like they’re not giving up flavor to eat healthier.

Market research firm Datassential reports that buffalo cauliflower is on 1.1% of U.S. menus, which is a 477% increase over the past four years.
