An estimated 32 million Brits have changed their eating habits during lockdown and are now consuming healthier food and trying new meals.
A study of 2,000 adults found 61 per cent think their diets are different now, with 29 per cent of those saying it is healthier than it was before.
An eighth are using more plant-based alternatives and a quarter are opting for fresh produce. And three in 10 have learned to rustle up new dishes - including curry, homemade pizza and cookies.
The research, commissioned by Flora - part of the Upfield brand portfolio - also found 17 per cent of those who have changed diets have consumed less meat, while one in 10 have reduced their dairy intake.
