Food Trends for 2018

With 2018 in full swing, it’s time to take a look at the food trends that are expected to take hold this year. Trends in the food industry come and go, with some of them sticking around for quite some time. How will this year’s trends last? Only time will tell. Here are some of the food trends expected to take hold in 2018 according to health and nutrition articles.

Diets Based on Plants

One of the biggest food trends you should expect to see in 2018 is that of the plant-based diet. In 2017 there was a 6 percent increase in veganism, which shows that plant-based diets are still gaining traction not only in the United States but also across the globe. There will be a selection of plant-based products showing up on the shelves this year.

Flavors from Flowers

Floral flavors will also likely be a big hit this year. There’s no reason that you should only enjoy the scent of flowers when they are in your garden or in a vase on your table. So, where will this trend appear? You will likely find floral flavored teas and alcoholic drinks coming to a store and restaurant near you in 2018.

Mobile Protein

Mobile protein will take hold of the market in 2018. What do we mean by mobile protein? Think portable protein. These new items will be competition for protein bars. Consumers want more flavor and items that have more wholesome ingredients.

Exotic Flavors


Exotic flavors took over the market in 2017. Look for more of the same in 2018 as more and more flavors from foreign countries hit restaurants in the United States. We are specifically talking about food from Middle Eastern countries. Look for new spices, jams, and other ingredients to take hold in 2018.
