Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about
5 Food Trends You're Going To See Everywhere In 2021
Somehow we are at the end of 2020 already. This year has felt like 100 years and also two days all in one, and we're all more than a little glad to kiss it goodbye...or more appropriately, give it the finger goodbye.
In 2021, many food trends we've seen start this year will likely carry over, especially as the COVID-19 pandemic continues and people continue to cook at home, order take-out, and get more things than ever delivered. Below we've forecasted just a few things we think you'll be seeing more of in 2021.
Plant-Based Foods
Plant-based items continue to be a trend into 2021, as 28 percent of people said that they have been eating more protein from plant sources during the pandemic, according to IFIC. More people will be flirting with veganism, but others will just be eating things that taste good and happen to be vegan. Expect the usual suspects to be rolling out even more innovations, especially at fast-food restaurants, but some forecasters predict newer things like plant-based "fish" are also going to be big on the horizon.
Breakfast
As we all continue to spend more time at home (are you tired of hearing that phrase yet??), many of us actually have time to think about breakfast. Seriously, even cereal saw a huge bump this year. Next year, instead of eating a cold granola bar on your commute, expect to see more Instagrams about meal prepping breakfast sandwiches, new fast food breakfast items being released, and maybe even the resurgence of overnight oats. Oh, and on that note...
Cooking Crafts
We literally started playing with our food in 2020, and will see that to continue into 2021. From the seeds of whipped coffee (and strawberry milk...and peanut butter milk...etc) and pancake cereal will come the next wave of Instagrammable food that will probably take you hours to make and seconds to eat...but who's judging?
Pickling/Fermenting
This is a kind of 2020 trend that will only get more popular into next year...maybe because this year, we literally ran out of mason jars lids as so many people were trying out canning. Expect people showing off their gardens in the spring as well as how they will turn their harvests into jars of pickled cucumbers, red onions, radishes, and more.
Virtual Cooking Classes
Looking for a fun and safe date night idea? Tired of playing trivia with friends over Zoom for the millionth time? Expect to get more invites to virtual classes that you can do with your fam in your home or even more elaborate ones that you can follow along with friends on Zoom. Everybody from famous chefs to your favorite restaurants have these on the docket, and we think more people will be taking advantage of them next year. (Psst, we're already doing some, too!).
and as always have a chilled day from the Viking
