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.
