2022 was a year full of food trends. We saw cloud bread, baked oats, charcuterie boards, pasta chips, smash potatoes, birria tacos, ‘healthy’ coke, green goddess salad and much more! It was not only food trends we saw, but sustainability trends as well. Experiencing more ways the world has offered eco-friendly or sustainable products. As a new year is in full swing, what food trends can we expect in 2023? Here are Peko’s predictions!
Meatless Dishes
Plant based dishes are more popular than ever right now. Incorporating produce in your everyday meals without thought! Creating food that not only looks good, but makes you feel good as well. Our Peko Box is the perfect way to experiment with new produce and have some fun in the kitchen.
Instant Food
People are finding ways to become more efficient in their everyday life. Sometimes, cooking can become a responsibility that takes up too much time. By having instant food, meals can be ready in minutes and save some extra time in your day. For plant-based, delicious, and healthy instant food, checkout Peko Pantry Items.
Mushrooms
The perfect vegetable to accent many dishes. Mushrooms have been on a rise and become a featured ingredient in many dishes. Ricardo Cuisine says, “more and more restaurants are including them in their menus for their rich umami flavor (known as the fifth basic taste), their low environmental impact and also their low cost.” Check out a mushroom based recipe from Peko here!
Eating Local
Community members are starting to support quality local markets. Events such as farmer markets, food events, and more have gathered more participants each year. The opportunity to explore creative ideas and learn from new people. You can support local people by purchasing a Peko Box where 60% of proceeds go towards the Food Stash Foundation!
