Trends season has officially begun! The Whole Foods Market has released its 2025 Food & Beverage trends report. Personally, I'm really liking the prospect of the "crunch/texture" trend highlighted. I'm thinking its a trend that can be applied to most any product category. Also, I happen to really love Popadelics which are ALL about that satisfying crunchy texture. Other trends highlighted include these: 1. International Snacking 2. Ever-Adaptable Dumpling 3. Hydration Hype 4. Tea's Time 5. Next-Level Compostable 6. More-Sustainable Sips 7. Sourdough Stepped Up 8. Plant-Based Aquatic Ingredients 9. Protein Power-Up We'll be working on our annual metatrends analysis over the next few months as the trends reports flood in between now and 2025...stay tuned. What trend stands out to you most? #food #beverage #trends #nutrition #diet #plantbased #foodscapefinds https://lnkd.in/g8tGSaTd

2moRachel Cheatham, PhD Never heard of a Popadelic before but I’ll keep my eye out for it. Checked the website. Clean label looks good. Nutrition Facts doesn't meet the thresholds proposed by the FDA for using the word “healthy” on the label. I’m all for eating healthy but do have my doubts about putting a good looking product with what looks like moderate salt into the same bucket as #HFSS.
