YAYLA AGRO GIDA PARTICIPATES IN FI EUROPE 2025 WITH ITS GLOBAL BRAND LEGURME
Innovative food company Yayla Agro Gıda participated in Fi Europe 2025, one of the world’s leading events for food ingredients and finished food products, with its global brand Legurme. Held at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles from December 2–4, 2025, the international exhibition brought together key players from the global food industry. Yayla Agro Gıda showcased its Legurme product portfolio and innovative food solutions to visitors from around the world.
Fi Europe (Food Ingredients Europe) once again provided a global platform bringing together food manufacturers, ingredient suppliers, retail companies, R&D specialists and procurement professionals to explore emerging trends shaping the future of the industry.
Through its participation, Yayla Agro Gıda aimed to strengthen existing business partnerships while creating new opportunities for expansion into international markets. Throughout the exhibition, the company introduced its healthy, convenient and innovative product solutions, while also highlighting its strong production capabilities and R&D expertise.
At the Legurme stand, healthy snacks, breakfast products and functional food solutions attracted significant attention. Visitors had the opportunity to discover and experience a wide range of products, including versatile sauce solutions, rice and multigrain snacks, as well as freeze-dried fruits and vegetables developed for both consumer and industrial applications.
Innovative Food Solutions for Retail and Professional Kitchens
Legurme’s sauce portfolio has been developed to provide practical solutions for both home consumers and professional chefs. Designed to complement a variety of dishes, these products help reduce preparation time while maintaining authentic flavor and quality.
Suitable for the HoReCa (Hotel, Restaurant and Catering) channel, the sauce range enables food service operators to achieve consistent taste and quality across their menus, supporting efficiency in professional kitchens.
Another highlight of the Legurme showcase was its freeze-dried fruit and vegetable range. Through advanced freeze-drying technology, water is removed from products under low-temperature vacuum conditions, allowing them to preserve their natural color, aroma, taste and nutritional value to a great extent.
These products can be consumed directly as healthy snacks or used as functional ingredients in various food applications, including granola, nutrition bars, chocolate products, yogurt, ice cream and beverage formulations. With this versatile portfolio, Legurme provides value-added solutions not only for retail consumers but also for food manufacturers seeking innovative ingredients.
Legurme: Expanding Global Reach Through Healthy and Innovative Food Solutions
Yayla Agro Gıda’s global brand Legurme is positioned around a deep understanding of consumer expectations across different markets and cultures. Products with extended shelf life, logistical advantages and easy preparation features represent a key part of the brand’s international growth strategy.
At the same time, Legurme’s focus on plant-based ingredients and cleaner formulations aligns with the growing global demand for healthier and more sustainable food choices.
Commenting on the successful exhibition, Mehmet Ünlüyurt, Export Director of Yayla Agro Gıda, stated:
