Thanks to the pandemic, more consumers are avoiding unhealthy snacks, desserts, and sugary drinks, turning instead to healthier foods and snacks. A nutritionist keeping her eye on healthy eating and snacking sees the following trends continuing or emerging in 2022: flavorless water lily seeds loaded with nutrients are a perfect vehicle for added spices; the “omnivore” diet that incorporates foods from the animal and plant worlds is the basis of what’s known as “flexitarian” eating; mushrooms with their meat-like texture and taste serve as an authentic swap for meat; the traditional flavors of Southeast Asia, including Vietnam, Singapore and the Philippines continue popular; and lastly, immunity-boosting ingredients from foods like berries, fermented foods, spices (ginger, turmeric, cinnamon), cruciferous vegetables, nuts and seeds, and citrus fruits.
