6 Food Trends We Are Here For In 2022!
Eating well is vital when leading a balanced lifestyle. So, let’s take a look at six food trends to love in 2022.
You have heard of nose-to-tail, but what about peel-to-steam?
The best restaurants follow a nose-to-tail philosophy. This means that they believe in using all of the animal. Not only does this ensure that they are not wasteful, but it gives diners the opportunity to experience some tasty cuts that they otherwise wouldn’t think to order. This trend has been around for a while now, but the concept of it is starting to be applied to vegetables, with a peel-to-steam trend emerging. So, you can expect carrot tops and root vegetable peels to be left on.
Customized eating plans
Another trend that a lot of people are embracing is customized eating plans. Rather than following all of these fad diets, it is about eating plans that are catered to your taste and your goals. A dietitian can help with this.
Rabbit is going to be a popular ingredient
If there is one ingredient that is really going to be embraced this year then it is rabbit. A lot of chefs agree that this is the meat of the future. It is truly delicious and can be cooked in a number of different ways.
The sharing plates trend is only going to get more and more popular
The sharing plates trend is one we already started to notice over the past few years, yet it is going to become even more popular throughout 2022. This concept involves ordering a selection of smaller dishes for people to share between them. It is not a new idea. After all, the Spanish have been enjoying tapas for years. However, it’s a concept that is being enjoyed in all types of restaurants. It is quite a fun approach to dining in my opinion, as you get to try a little bit of everything.
It’s not a case of the bigger the better when it comes to fish
For many years there has been a ‘big fish’ culture in terms of catching fish for cooking purposes. However, we think this culture is about to be replaced, as more and more people are appreciating the versatility and tastiness that can be found with smaller fishes. From belt fish to needlefish, we will see a greater appreciation for smaller species.
In-house fermentation will be a big trend
The final trend we predict we will see a lot of throughout the year ahead is in-house fermentation. Fermented foods are present in all cultures and they are actually extremely beneficial in terms of gut health. Many establishments will embrace this as we move forward, with everything from pickles to kimchi being fermented in-house.
Final words
So there you have it… some of the important trends in food for the mind and the body! We expect to see these cooking and eating trends be highly popular throughout the rest of 2022.
