TASTES GREAT, GOOD FOR YOU
Healthy, delicious foods are just the starting point for the trend with the most staying power: wellness. Diners expect and deserve more—and will reward chefs that find creative ways to serve fruits, vegetables, grains, and proteins with vibrant colors, bold flavors, and exciting textures packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
- Super greens: Dark leafy vegetables top the list for healthy ingredients. Ideal in salads, rice bowls, stews, egg dishes, and smoothies, items like spinach, collards, beet greens, arugula, kale, romaine, and bok choy signify wellness to customers.
- High protein: A large percentage of consumers want to increase their protein intake without adding more meat. Look to alternatives like broccoli, lentils, mushrooms, quinoa, nuts, spinach, and beans to naturally pump it up!
- Gut health: Probiotics are big, especially when they are foods, not pills. Add fermented foods across your menus via kimchi, sauerkraut, pickled onions and cucumbers, and fruity kombucha drinks to deliciously aid digestion.
- Fiber: Important to blood sugar levels, weight management, heart health, cholesterol levels, and more, fiber-rich foods also add texture and keep us full longer. Consider ingredients such as sweet potatoes, collard greens, avocados, and Brussels sprouts in dishes across all day parts.
