Whether it’s low-sugar, reduced sodium or less fat, the idea of reductionism in the grocery space is nothing new. But over the last few years, brands have been using increasingly innovative techniques, ingredients, and flavor additions to ensure that these products are just as tasty and satisfying as their counterparts. From new types of sweeteners to utilizing cooking techniques and flavor additions to enhance taste, here’s how to make sure that “reductionism” doesn’t include reduction in taste impact.
