Eater has put up a beautiful (and long) list that culls what many major food publications predict for 2020 with food. Many are vegan or vegan-adjacent, and I’m not going to list them all but these are some of the things I’m excited about too:
- Aronia berries
- Ube
- Spreads and butters like macadamia nut butter and watermelon seed butter
- Zero-waste
- CRISPR crops
- “Less focus on the center of the plate more on the outskirts”
- “Mexican cuisine will be more recognized as complex and layered – rather than always spicy and heavy”
- Family-style tasting menus, family-style dining
- “Technically illegal” tonka beans (!)
Zero waste really needs to pop-off. As food delivery pushes into a larger and larger portion of how most Americans are consuming their meals, this deserves more focus and energy.
