November 15, 2019

Did you notice all the food themes everyone was talking about this year? Probiotic foods, keto, seaweed, plant-based, repurposing produce, and upcycled foods, and packaging that doesn’t suck? Let’s hope those trends are here to stay! 2019 is starting to wrap up and we are heading into the holiday season, and there is one thing that is super exciting: 2020 food trends!

Regenerative agriculture

Regenerative agriculture is defined as the “farming principles and practices that increase biodiversity, enriches the soil, improves watersheds and enhances ecosystem services” (1).

African flavors

African foods are loaded with common flavors of ginger, chili, onions, and tomatoes. Often, African cuisine includes peanuts, ginger, and lemongrass with not so common ingredients such as sorghum, fonio, and millet. This is one trend I am excited to experiment with!

Plant-based and soy alternatives

It is here to stay! But hold up, let’s rethink soy. There are so many other options than soy. Try beans, and other meat alternatives like beyond meat.

Kids menu

We are raising little foodies, and introducing them to more sophisticated food. So why not include them in the kitchen? Encourage your youngsters to help you wash veggies, rip the leaves of lettuce or herbs and the older kids to help cut or cook their food.
