The world is facing devastating wars, political unrest, global climate disasters and food inflation – which are all shaping what and how we eat.
Expect to see a return to comfort, including indulgent foods and beverages, along with the mainstreaming of mental and emotional well-being. Yet, health is still a driver of food choices, with consumers focused on protein content, plant-based and minimally processed.
Foods and flavors will be more global (especially cross-cultural), spicier, multi-sensory, playful and increasingly influenced by pop culture, TikTok and AI.
Learn more about the trending foods and flavors predicted to be big in 2024, along with the implications and how you can leverage them as a food and nutrition professional.
