2025 is less than a month away, and it’s bringing many delicious food trends our way. If you’re in the mood to start experimenting with food next year, Pinterest is here to help you out. Their annual trend forecast is finally here, and it’s bringing many interesting food trends our way, starting with these three.

Rebel Floats

If Pinterest is to be trusted, the way we drink the good old soda will change in 2025, thanks to Gen Z and Millennials. “Fruit soda” is one of the most-searched terms under this category, along with “cream soda aesthetic”, but homemade soda is also having a moment, along with root beer.

Chaos Cakes

Cakes with pristine icing and perfect piping are going out of style in 2025 because this year is all about embracing chaos. Wacky cakes with a chaotic vibe will be all the rage next year, as searches for silly and funny cakes hit an all-time high. “Rat cakes” are the most surprising trend to emerge under this category, along with cakes inspired by celebrity crushes.

Pickle Fix

Fans of pickles, rejoice because 2025 will be one dill-icious year! Pickles will be all around us, taking over everything from cakes to our favorite cocktails next year. Pickle margaritas are going stronger than ever on Pinterest, but searches for pickle fries, pickle cakes, fried pickle dip, and pickle de gallo are also on the rise.

2025 is bringing many amazing food trends our way, and Kroger is one of the first brands to share their predictions. From Caesar dressing to plant-based protein, we’re bringing you five delicious treats that made it to their forecast of the biggest food trends worth keeping an eye on next year.

Private Labels

If you’re looking for a way to save some money on groceries in 2025, you’ll be happy to hear that private store labels are all the rage, with many people turning their backs on national brands and choosing them instead.

Foreign Spices

2025 is shaping up to be a great year to spice up your life, and spices and peppers from international cuisines, such as Calabrian chiles, guajillo peppers, and hatch chiles, will get you there.

Caesar Dressing

Adding Caesar dressing to your salad is nothing new, but Kroger predicts we’ll start using it in everything from pizza and pasta next year, in addition to mixing it up with miso, tahini, and black garlic.

Briny Flavors

Kroger’s customers can’t get enough of acidic, briny, and fermented foods, such as olives, pickles, sauerkraut, and kimchi.

Plant-Based Protein

The way we consume protein will change in 2025, with more people making a shift to plant-based foods rich in protein, such as beans, lentils, and hemp seeds.

Fall is the season of change, so it’s a better time than ever to switch up your eating habits and add some fun new foods to the menu. Pinterest is a great source of inspiration, and their fall forecast includes some fun food trends, from rooted flavors to jelly desserts.

Pinterest singled out three defining food trends that we’ll be seeing everywhere this fall, explaining they offer a delicious and exciting culinary journey for the season.

“People are increasingly incorporating earthy ingredients, like morel mushrooms and pistachio butter, to add depth and richness to their dishes. They are also experimenting with jelly flavors for a sweet and satisfying treat. Interest in “Japanese foods” is increasing, with searches on the rise for dishes like chicken karaage and katsu curry,” reads Pinterest’s press release.

“Rooted flavors” emerged as one of the most delicious new trends due to a spike in searches for morel and portobello mushrooms, ginger spice, quinoa pudding, pistachio butter, and Ashwagandha.

Japanese cuisine is also having a moment on Pinterest, especially easy mochi recipes, tempura sushi, deconstructed sushi bowls, chicken karaage, and katsu curry.

In terms of desserts, jelly will be going stronger than ever this fall, with plum, blueberry, peach, black raspberry, and milk emerging as the most popular flavors.

Move over oat milk, there’s a new contender in the plant-based milk game—potato milk. While it may sound unexpected, potato milk has been gaining traction in recent years, particularly due to its potential as a sustainable and affordable dairy alternative. Let’s take a closer look. 

Origins and Rise to Popularity

Potato milk is not entirely a new concept. However, its commercial availability and popularity have only recently begun to peak. In 2022, the Swedish company Veg of Lund introduced a potato-based beverage called DUG.  This new option joined the ranks of established plant-based milks offering consumers a unique and potentially more eco-friendly choice

Environmental Benefits

One of the most compelling reasons behind potato milk’s surge in popularity is its sustainability. Potatoes require significantly less water and land to grow compared to almonds, soy, or oats, making potato milk a more eco-friendly option. Potatoes are also relatively easy to cultivate in most climates, meaning there’s a lot of growth potential. 

Taste and Availability

The taste of potato milk is often described as surprisingly neutral and mild, with a slightly sweet undertone. As for availability, while potato milk is still gaining traction, it is increasingly being stocked in health food stores and supermarkets alongside other dairy-free alternatives.

The food industry is a constantly changing landscape and 2023 has already seen the introduction of fresh flavors and culinary advancements. It can be challenging to stay up to date with all of these new developments, but fear not because we’re here to keep you informed! Let us take you through three of the most popular food trends that have emerged thus far this year.

Plant-Based Flexitarianism

Flexitarianism is a new diet approach that is primarily plant-based with occasional meat consumption. This trend has been driven by the health and environmental benefits of plant-based diets. Plant-based meat alternatives and vegetarian options are now more prevalent on menus to cater to this new wave of dietary choices.

Locally Sourced and Sustainable

The food industry is witnessing a growing concern for the environmental impact of food production. As a result, people are opting for more locally sourced and sustainable food options. Restaurants and food companies are now offering locally produced and sustainably sourced foods such as seafood and produce.

Comfort Food Reinvented

Comfort food has always been a favorite and chefs are putting their creative spin on it. They are revamping classic dishes, such as mac and cheese with lobster or truffle oil, gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches, and upgraded versions of chicken and waffles. The twist on comfort food has become a new culinary sensation, allowing foodies to explore their comfort food cravings with a modern twist.

Popular dishes have evolved over the years. In this day and age, there are many classic things you can serve at any given meal—but one of the most popular and commonly accepted dishes is roasted veggies. So what is it about roasted veggies that make them such a frequent crowd-pleaser? Here’s why you won’t ever have to worry about upsetting your guests if you make them.

They’re Perfectly Neutral

There’s nothing particularly offensive about veggies. Consider something like steak, which is beloved by so many. As tasty as it is, there are people who would be repulsed if you served it to them, such as vegetarians or vegans. But when it comes to roasted veggies, no one would ever have a problem with it being on the table, even if they didn’t love it.

Everyone Knows It’s Healthy

Vegetables are one of those things that everyone knows is healthy. Even if you’re someone who doesn’t particularly love eating vegetables, you’ll still put a few on your plate in order to feel good about eating something healthy.

Roasted Gives it a Nice Kick

Finally, the real reason that roasted veggies, as opposed to fresh veggies, are so popular, is that they make veggies taste better. It’s common for someone to be opposed to eating fresh veggies at a table because of their blandness, but to happily scoop up some roasted veggies. The taste is simply better when they’re roasted! It’s the best of both worlds.

The beginning of the year is an exciting time as endless possibilities hang in the air. It is also a time for food experts to predict what we are likely to be serving on our plates over the next 12 months. The National Restaurant Association and American Culinary Federation surveyed 500 professionals in the food industry about what to look out for in 2023.

Alternative Sweeteners

Sugar has become somewhat of a pariah during the last few years. Although natural, the ingredient has been linked to heart disease and Alzheimer’s, with many people attempting to cut it out of their diets. But, like milk, alternatives to sugar have cropped up. Expect to see more maple sugar and coconut sugar this year.

Seltzers

Believe it or not, carbonated water has been around for more than 250 years. While it was often added to alcoholic beverages to give them a little extra pzazz, seltzers have stepped up to become the alcoholic beverage themselves. White Claw is currently the most popular brand of hard seltzer, but keep an eye out for others over the next twelve months.

Chicken Sandwiches

It might be a somewhat random choice, but chicken sandwiches are expected to have a glow-up in 2023. Think fried sandwiches, sweet-heat fusion flavors, and lots of spice.

Cuppa Time

Move over, happy hour because afternoon tea is the new cool kid in town! Tea parties will be all the rage in 2022, and Pinterest claims it’s “a moment, an aesthetic, a pose”, and not just a meal. Tea party aesthetic and drinking tea pose are two of the most searched tea-related terms.

Ancestral Eats

When it comes to cooking food in 2022, people are getting ready to fall back in love with traditional dishes. According to Pinterest, we’ll “say goodbye to over-the-top eating experiences and embrace [our] roots.” Russian, Arabic, South African, Norwegian, and Filipino cuisine will be especially popular with Pinterest users next year.

Batter Up

This food trend is all about welcoming elaborate, over-the-top cakes into your life. From gravity-defying tiers to bubble and 3D cakes, 2022 will be all about cakes that look too good to be true, with unusual cakes and art cake ideas among the most searched terms.

The food industry is a constantly changing landscape and 2023 has already seen the introduction of fresh flavors and culinary advancements. It can be challenging to stay up to date with all of these new developments, but fear not because we’re here to keep you informed! Let us take you through three of the most popular food trends that have emerged thus far this year.

Plant-Based Flexitarianism

Flexitarianism is a new diet approach that is primarily plant-based with occasional meat consumption. This trend has been driven by the health and environmental benefits of plant-based diets. Plant-based meat alternatives and vegetarian options are now more prevalent on menus to cater to this new wave of dietary choices.

Locally Sourced and Sustainable

The food industry is witnessing a growing concern for the environmental impact of food production. As a result, people are opting for more locally sourced and sustainable food options. Restaurants and food companies are now offering locally produced and sustainably sourced foods such as seafood and produce.

Comfort Food Reinvented

Comfort food has always been a favorite and chefs are putting their creative spin on it. They are revamping classic dishes, such as mac and cheese with lobster or truffle oil, gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches, and upgraded versions of chicken and waffles. The twist on comfort food has become a new culinary sensation, allowing foodies to explore their comfort food cravings with a modern twist.

Popular dishes have evolved over the years. In this day and age, there are many classic things you can serve at any given meal—but one of the most popular and commonly accepted dishes is roasted veggies. So what is it about roasted veggies that make them such a frequent crowd-pleaser? Here’s why you won’t ever have to worry about upsetting your guests if you make them.

They’re Perfectly Neutral

There’s nothing particularly offensive about veggies. Consider something like steak, which is beloved by so many. As tasty as it is, there are people who would be repulsed if you served it to them, such as vegetarians or vegans. But when it comes to roasted veggies, no one would ever have a problem with it being on the table, even if they didn’t love it.

Everyone Knows It’s Healthy

Vegetables are one of those things that everyone knows is healthy. Even if you’re someone who doesn’t particularly love eating vegetables, you’ll still put a few on your plate in order to feel good about eating something healthy.

Roasted Gives it a Nice Kick

Finally, the real reason that roasted veggies, as opposed to fresh veggies, are so popular, is that they make veggies taste better. It’s common for someone to be opposed to eating fresh veggies at a table because of their blandness, but to happily scoop up some roasted veggies. The taste is simply better when they’re roasted! It’s the best of both worlds.

The beginning of the year is an exciting time as endless possibilities hang in the air. It is also a time for food experts to predict what we are likely to be serving on our plates over the next 12 months. The National Restaurant Association and American Culinary Federation surveyed 500 professionals in the food industry about what to look out for in 2023.

Alternative Sweeteners

Sugar has become somewhat of a pariah during the last few years. Although natural, the ingredient has been linked to heart disease and Alzheimer’s, with many people attempting to cut it out of their diets. But, like milk, alternatives to sugar have cropped up. Expect to see more maple sugar and coconut sugar this year.

Seltzers

Believe it or not, carbonated water has been around for more than 250 years. While it was often added to alcoholic beverages to give them a little extra pzazz, seltzers have stepped up to become the alcoholic beverage themselves. White Claw is currently the most popular brand of hard seltzer, but keep an eye out for others over the next twelve months.

Chicken Sandwiches

It might be a somewhat random choice, but chicken sandwiches are expected to have a glow-up in 2023. Think fried sandwiches, sweet-heat fusion flavors, and lots of spice.
