Food trends for 2015

 

Sterling Rice Group, a Colorado-based consulting company for the food industry has released their Top 10 Trends “that will inspire the food industry in 2015”.  SRG says the list depicts a deeper exploration of global cuisines but also reinforces local connections and promotes sustainability.

Number-one on the list is Regional Grains; local farmers growing alternative grain varieties to supply local bakers, chefs, brewers and consumers.

The list includes a number of Asian cuisine preferences especially Thai, Japanese and Filipino foods.

SRG says food trends are moving from niche to mainstream more rapidly thanks to multiculturalism, more travel and the internet.  SRG culinary director Kara Nielsen tells FoodNavigator the trends indicate consumers want their food to be more authentic, they want to make a connection to where the food comes from and “they desire more adventurous flavors.”
