The foodie movement has encouraged many food retailers and restaurants to think out of the box and move towards providing an experience and not just a meal. Foodies are searching for new and exciting products and experiences with an emphasis on trendy foods and ingredients. This blog covers the top trends that consumers are seeking in 2016.
The top four food trends discussed in the blog are:
- "Better for You" Snacking Reaches New Heights
- Asian Noodles Gain Ground
- Growing Interest in Plant Proteins and Natural/Organic Meats
- An Emphasis on Avoided Ingredients
The first trend discussed is snacking. Two-thirds of adults in the U.S. claim that they snack often. And for many adults and children, snacking throughout the day has replaced traditional large meals. Sales of salty snacks increased 3.5% in 2015, reaching $22 billion. Sweet baked goods and treats are also very popular, with 44% of snackers admitting to eating sweets.
