  • Insects will creep onto more restaurant menus, thanks to the growing number of chefs who are replacing animal proteins with edible insects to fight against climate change and add unique flavors

  • Brands will continue to draft off pop culture
  • Consumers will seek out interesting and exotic food and beverage options, such as kimchi, ube, halloumi, and Patsy (easy-to-eat hand pie from Michigan's Upper Peninsula)
  • Americans will not eat less, but they may take more supplements
  • The path food takes to the table will matter more than ever before. According to a survey from the Hartman Group, 69 percent of Gen Z consumers base their food and beverage purchases on environmental or social well-being issues
  • Upcycled ingredients are working their way into more foods. Upcycled foods like cacao pulp for jams and jellies or bacon fat in biscuits are examples
