Product-Based Recipes & Usage Infographics
Product Usage and Recipe Pairing Visual Guides
Understanding how food products are commonly used can make everyday cooking and meal preparation feel more approachable. Many people look for simple ideas that show how ingredients fit into familiar routines rather than detailed instructions or complex recipes.
Visual guides help explain these ideas by showing clear, practical examples. By focusing on familiarity and everyday use, these visuals help bridge the gap between ingredients and real-world food routines.
This collection of visual guides is developed by Traverse Bay Farms, a family-owned food company based in Northern Michigan, and is designed for broad, everyday food education. All content on this page is provided for educational and informational purposes only.
