Food Trends 2019

As with fashion trends, here come the 2019 food trends. We have a return to the simple and genuine ingredients belonging to the authentic Mediterranean diet but also influences from the rest of the world. These are real trends capable of stimulating all those who are looking for new and stimulating flavours. For this reason you can expect to enjoy any type of taste.

Yogurt and fermented foods

Probiotic foods will be on the rise. From breakfasts to savory recipes paired with salmon and vegetables.

Probiotic foods are good for your gut. They can be useful for improving digestion and strengthening the immune system, providing essential nutrients such as B vitamins, vitamin C or minerals such as calcium that our body does not produce on its own!

Foods that contain live active cultures include yogurt (which has been found effective against some stomach cancers), grain-based drinks rich in omega three fatty acids - but there are many other options too; look at this list put together from search results to give you ideas on what might work best.

• Foods of Asian origin such as kombucha, a particular fermented tea,
• kimchi, a typical Korean recipe
• and miso, a soup in Japanese cuisine.

Seeds

After goji berries and chia seeds, the seeds will increasingly come into common use in sweet and savory dishes. These are perfect in salads or even as a snack. They have numerous beneficial properties and are able to improve circulation and the condition of the body.

In honor of all things seeds, here are some ideas for incorporating them into your diet. The first is the bread! The seeds can be added to any favorite recipe, as long as they don't squeak during baking - which would instead make an annoying crunching noise - and then just give that beautiful golden color desired by many bakers around the world. Next time you're making granola at home or want some quick energy on those days when classes continue into the late morning, mix together pieces of dried fruit like apricots and figs along with whatever nuts work best in their region (Brazil uses almonds).

Food trends: Influences from the rest of the world

From sushi to the most unknown and delicious Filipino dishes, our tables will be colored by unusual, spicy, light and very tasty foods.

Black food

All those dishes colored black with food or natural dyes such as charcoal and squid ink are also at the center of trends on Instagram.

Kasha

“Alternative” products to wheat such as Kasha, a Russian porridge composed of various types of cereals, are gaining the upper hand. Also due to the general trend towards gluten-free products.

Kasha is a type of bread made from wheat. It's gaining popularity in recent years, and people are starting to appreciate its versatility - it can be enjoyed for breakfast or dinner!
It's easy to see why so many families around the world choose this tasty alternative to regular white flour: you get all the nutrients you need without feeling weighed down after consuming one too many slices.

Seaweed

We are used to seeing them in sushi rolls, or in ramen. It is used in doughs, in broths or to flavor salads and cold snacks.

Food trends: Amaranth

One of the oldest pseudocereals in the world, typical of pre-Columbian peoples.

Chickpeas

Chickpeas are super transversal in the kitchen and are now used as a base for the preparation of countless dishes.
