Healthy foods that are good for the intestines. Demand for kombucha is going to increase. The growth of the trend of powdered superfoods. Cold coffee ready to explode.
As consumers shift their preferences toward foods that boost immunity and promote health, fermented foods are still on their list of favorites. Like a shadow, a ghost kitchen works to spread dark foods. Actually, food of all kinds, but only takeaway food. Last year, The Manual covered ghost kitchens with the most popular foods on TikTok through Virtual Dining Concepts (VDC).
VDC co-founder Robbie Earl told Bloomberg Business Week that VDC expects to start with 300 locations in TikTok Kitchen before expanding to 1000 next year. These ghosts have emerged in chain restaurants such as Buca di Beppo, which has been easy, since the elderly Robert Earl is also the owner of those establishments. Wendy's is following suit and is planning 700 ghost kitchens over the next five years. Yelp now has the “Virtual Kitchens” option to help you find ghost kitchens in your area.
And Delish transmitted information that market research firm Euromoniter suggested that this could be a “trillion-dollar industry” in the next 10 years. While sustainable packaging may be the main objective of restaurateurs, the food industry focuses on plants, edible plants. These range from plant-based proteins to potato milk. If you haven't noticed the trend yet, it seems that there has been a change in the nature of takeaway packages that were delivered from restaurants in approximately the past year.
The national push toward sustainable packaging in urban centers in the U.S. The US seems to have been the last domino chip to fall. Last year, around this time, optimistic trend forecasters predicted that cork would come out of the bottle in summer. With vaccines in arms, food culture would vibrate in a solid economy.
American menus would be full of innovations driven by waves of international travel, and a new generation of digital-native cooks would rewrite the rules. But there are also possible culinary trends in the field of cocktail making; alcohol-free cocktails seem to be gaining ground alongside foods containing THC. Herbaceous and more ecological flavors are also expected to appear, which will highlight a cultural shift towards food and beverage trends with more natural flavors. But what if things didn't work out the way everyone thought they would? Trying to forecast food trends is still fun and sometimes even accurate.
It would be strange to see that this collision of dietary trends occurs even when people continue to stay at home, if it weren't for the need involved. A fancy way of saying “regular cannabis-infused food”, mood food has been gaining popularity on social media for some time. Healthy foods and reusable or recyclable restaurant supplies are more abundant than ever in food establishments. The report also indicates that consumers are refocusing on the foods that are best for them after choosing comfort foods during the COVID-19 pandemic.
