Food trends for 2014 are slightly different to those of
2013, as consumers are increasingly becoming more health conscious. One of the major trends
in terms of food for 2014 is replacing ‘unhealthy’ carbohydrates with fake, yet
still delicious versions of them.The gluten and wheat free trend, remains a
popular choice for many people.
The top foods to be eaten this year are:
Ancient grains. They usually have weird names that are
difficult to pronounce but these tasty grains are delicious and filling. Examples
include: Quinoa and Chia. These are typically added to meals to replace refined
carbohydrates such as white rice or pasta.
Cauliflower. This often tasteless vegetable has become
immensely popular this year, thanks to its ability to be turned into rice,
pizza bases and mash. Using cauliflower as a replacement for refined carbohydrates
is simple and cheap.
Free range meats and chicken. Just as we are cutting back on
gluten, we are also looking for free range options, particularly when it comes
to meat and chicken.
A healthy lifestyle is the bench mark for 2014 and food
retailers are definitely realising, that we need alternatives to the refined and
processed foods we ate before.
