Since we are currently without a kitchen, food has been on my mind lately! I thought I'd do something a little different in today's video and discuss the top food trends of 2019.
I am always fascinated by food trends. Tastes come and go and it's fun to look back in history to see what foods were popular. I read this article from Eater, which shares a long list of every food trend to look out for this year (warning, there are pictures of insects on this article). I chose the top ten trends that I have heard the most about. In this video, I go through them with you.
Here they are:
🍴Infusions like ginger water and CBD CBD is finding its way into many remedies as well as foods because of its therapeutic properties. I have not tried CBD in anything. Have you?
🍴Oat milk and Pea milk These are the new nutritious milks on the market. Here is a recipe for oat milk from The Minimalist Baker
🍴Bread, especially sourdough I have been enjoying sourdough toasted with butter and apple butter. It's one of my favorite breads. Here is Lisa from Farmhouse on Boone's sourdough starter recipe
🍴Grazing tables Here is a picture article on epic grazing tables What do you think of these? I can't stop looking at them!
🍴Foil pack dinner recipes Ben and I like to cook fish in foil packs. Moosewood Restaurant's at-home cookbook has some great foil pack recipes.
🍴Chayote
Chayote Rich in nutrients, potent in antioxidants, promotes heart health, blood sugar control, potential anticancer effects and supports liver function.
🍴“Gut-healthy” foods aka fermented foods such as kombucha and kimchi Have you ever tried kombucha? Here is an interesting article on the health benefits of kombucha. Here is some information from the article: Kombucha, a fermented tea beverage, is rich in probiotics and antioxidants, which benefit your brain, heart and gut. The healthy bacteria found in kombucha and your digestive tract absorb nutrients and fight sickness. Eighty percent of your immune system is located in the gut and the gut is considered the second largest part of the nervous system after the brain. That means promoting gut health is critical. One way to do that is drinking kombucha regularly, which may help maintain good immune and overall health.
🍴Smoothie bowls I love smoothie bowls! I have a smoothie bowl recipe in my upcoming Connoisseur Kids book. Basically take any smoothie you enjoy making and put less liquid in. It will be thicker and sit nicely in a bowl with your favorite toppings. Here is an article from Health that features 10 smoothie bowl recipes.
🍴Turmeric I made this Golden Turmeric Latte the other evening and really enjoyed it! Turmeric has wonderful anti-inflammation properties.
🍴Vegetable alternatives to grains such as cauliflower pizza crust I love cauliflower pizza crust! This is a wonderful trend... Have you tried Cauliflower pizza crust?
I hope you enjoy today's video. If you would like to see a follow-up video where I try some of the foods on this list, let me know! (Although I'll most likely have to wait until we have a kitchen again! :) )
