Food is an essential item that no matter where or who you are, it impacts your life. With 7.5 billion people on the planet and each having different taste buds and preferences, we help cut through the confusion and bring you 5 key trends for 2019 from BusinessWire. 1. Fresh Shelf-Stable is on the rise Shelf-stable products which are traditionally highly processed will see a big shift towards a fresher and more sustainable approach. Some of these foods are expected to become so fresh that they will need to be refrigerated. 2. Cauliflower is the new kale Cauliflower has taken a leading role in the plant-based space, and its allure can partly be traced to recent low-carb dietary trends. Cauliflower can unnoticeably replace starches in many staples, including pizza crust, rice, crackers, pretzels and even tater tots. 3. Evolution of Kid Snacks 2019 will see serious innovations in children’s snacks as the demand for healthier options continues to rise. Producers who incorporate cleaner and more nutritious ingredients in traditional kids’ favourites will stand to gain more ground. Expect a surge in new innovations such as Peek-a-Boo’s strawberry ice cream, which features hidden carrots. 4. Premium Spice Packets Another innovation for the coming year is the surge in premium spice packets. These portion-controlled packets are not only popular with time-starved consumers who crave convenience and minimal wastage but are also winning the favour of retailers' kitchens. 5. Spreading local The call for ‘Go Local’ will continue well into 2019 and beyond. Vertical farming is predicted to gain momentum in the coming year as it brings about new innovative methods enabling seasonal items to be grown and sourced locally. Expect to see more retailers jumping on the bandwagon as they partner with local producers to develop high-quality private labels as well. Source : Speciality & Fine Food Asia https://dmtrk.net
