Wonder what Americans will be eating next year? Experts who surround themselves with food have a few guesses. And, spoiler alert, it’s nothing you haven’t seen before. Expect current trends seen on social media to take full force in IRL, plenty of plants on every plate and much more diversity in culinary projects across the country.

Aishwarya has noticed a growing trend of consumers seeking delight in consumer packaged goods, prioritizing consumer taste, and the visual and tactile aspects of product presentation. Even Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt, a standard pantry item, went through a rebrand.
According to Whole Foods 2024 food trend predictions, plant based cuisine will be “putting the ‘veggie’ back in your veggie burger and shrinking labels all over the plant-based category.” That is, protein-forward vegetarian and vegan products will be made with mushrooms, walnuts, tempeh and legumes instead of meat alternatives. Even at restaurants, FSR Magazine cites plant-forward menus as a top trend for 2024. Broccoli on a bun anyone?
