While many people spend time worrying about the potential dangers of genetically-modified crops, as well as other food safety issues, it’s important to also consider the great benefits that technology could bring to our tables as the years pass.

One great example of a positive food technology development that has come up in recent years is the development of meat alternatives. With technology, it’s now possible to create eco-friendly and vegan meat alternatives that offer great taste while being easy on the environment.

One company that is working towards this goal is Novameat, headquartered in Barcelona, Spain. This start-up is still small, but they have begun to do something truly revolutionary and extraordinary. They have started to produce a 3D-printed, plant-based meat alternative that is absolutely delicious.

Not only do Novameat’s products taste similar to meats like beef or chicken, but they have also been able to replicate the texture and mouthfeel of these meats better than any other product before them. All of this has been accomplished using the latest in 3D printing technology.

While the product is currently still expensive and not widely-distributed, Novameat’s product could represent a revolutionary food trend that could benefit our planet while making us all healthier at the same time.

The 3D-printed meat alternative revolution is coming, and it’s going to be delicious!

Here are five food trends of 2019 that are continuing to grow and are having a positive impact on our lives and the environment.

Environmentally Friendly Packaging

By now, most people are well aware of the impact that plastics and other food packaging has on the environment. This year, there has been a real push for companies to use recyclable packing, and the trend is continuing to grow.

Alcohol Free

For the first time, it seems like Dry January was actually a success for many of us. More and more people are going more-or-less alcohol free which means there has already been a rise in yummy mocktails and alcohol free beers. Yay.

Meat Free

Yup. More and more people are daring to go veggie or vegan. The numbers in the US and the UK are continuously on the rise which means more and more meat free products are being stocked and brought.

Carb Replacements

Another trend that continues to grow is people replacing their carbs for veg. This doesn’t mean swapping a pizza for a salad, but rather getting a pizza that has the benefits of the salad and less of the carbs. Sounds too good to be true? It’s not. There are actually lots of hidden vegetable products hitting shelves and restaurants in 2019.

Misshapen Veg

Lastly, misshapen veg is becoming trendy. Instead of throwing away ugly carrots and funny looking potatoes, supermarkets are encouraging shoppers to use the products for tasty recipes like hummus or crisps. For these products, it doesn’t matter what shape the veg was in, because it will be cut up and blended anyway.
