• Mexican Cuisine

  America’s new favorite comfort food is Mexican cuisine. As Mexican cuisine has become more accessible in the past few decades, younger generations have grown up eating it, whether in restaurants or fast food chains. Beans, rice, cilantro, and hotter sauces are becoming the go-to nostalgic foods of comfort for stateside gastronomes who enjoy steak and seafood. As a topping or seasoning, cheese, salsa, and guacamole go well with any meal.

• Climatarian Eating Is On The Rise

   This eating regimen aims to eat for the planet’s health, with choices based on environmental impact. Even though this eating trend might still be in its infancy, it will remain relevant as younger generations in particular become more concerned about the environment. As the parameters are not rigid, it allows for a degree of flexibility depending on the preferences of participants. It’s appealing because delicious food isn’t sacrificed. A plant-based diet with crops that are good for soil can be incorporated into participation, as well as eating pasture-raised meat, buying more locally sourced and organic ingredients to reduce carbon emissions from transportation. Foodies can make mash-ups from leftovers in the fridge or pantry items to eliminate food waste and try new flavors. Take that leftover squash and rice and mix in a new sauce or spice to put a new spin on your dinner.

• Plant-Based Foods

  By introducing traditional dishes that lend themselves to a plant-based diet, global flavors and dishes continually contribute to the evolution of plant-based eating. The aromatic curries of Indian cuisine continue to be a great choice. Plant-based and non-dairy versions of traditional staples like ravioli have become more popular due to this trend. Expect continued development in plant-based cheese, bacon, and egg products.

• Global Flavors

  New global flavors continue to be part of food discovery. As some global cuisine has become mainstream, a refined and sharper focus regionally is where The Fresh Market looks for new food revelations. Eastern Mediterranean cuisine has brought vibrant, aromatic flavors to the forefront to enhance everyday dishes. Wonderful sauces, like Matbucha, are used as a condiment for morning eggs or ingredients in Shepard’s Pie.
