Discovering Food Trends that will be Big in 2022

Mar 28, 2022

Food retailers and supermarkets are always looking ahead to foresee and predict what will make its way to our kitchen in the coming months. The Independent newsgroup carried out an analysis to showcase what will be the food trends in 2022.


UMAMI

According to a variety of retail forecasts, "umami" will be the top food trend in 2022. However, this is a bit of a stretch; after all, umami is a taste, not a meal, and while the concept of a fifth basic taste has only recently gained popularity, the word was invented in 1908 by a Japanese scientist named Kikunae Ikeda.



Plant based

Vegetarianism and veganism, as well as climatarianism (a diet focused on lowering your carbon impact), are predicted to grow in popularity, bringing with them additional plant-based options. As a result, plant-based milk is becoming more popular, with Mintel research estimating that one-third of Britons (32%) currently consume plant-based milk, up from 25% in 2020.


The Return of Fusion

In the last year, Pinterest's trend-spotting experts witnessed a 120 percent increase in searches for traditional Norwegian recipes and a more than 150 percent increase in searches for traditional South African dishes. Traditional Russian food searches increased, while traditional Arabic food searches doubled on the pinning site. "This year, Generation X and Boomers will say goodbye to over-the-top eating experiences and embrace their roots (or someone else's!)," Pinterest says in response to the findings.

Umami is an interesting example of how food science can influence culinary trends and change the way people appreciate flavor. Although it is often presented as a modern food trend, its origins date back to 1908, when Japanese scientist Kikunae Ikeda introduced the concept. Understanding umami helps explain why ingredients such as mushrooms, tomatoes, and fermented foods can add so much depth to a dish. Food trends also create opportunities for people to exchange ideas and discover different culinary traditions. Platforms like Omezy make it easy to talk to strangers, share favorite recipes, and learn how people from different cultures experience and enjoy the unique taste of umami.

I had no idea umami was named by a Japanese scientist back in 1908, so that part really stood out to me. The return of fusion dishes and the search for traditional recipes is interesting too, though I wonder if the arrow puzzle will actually replace the big eating trends.
