Top Food Trends of 2022 –
Part 2

Let’s continue with the anticipated food trends for 2022.
Chewy Food
In Asia, chewy foods that require strong jaw muscles are revered,
and the texture is starting to make its way into American cuisine
due to the cultural influence of social media.
Aside from boba, the concept of chewy food has also expanded to
include rice cakes, ice cream, and tteokbokki. My Mochi ice cream
is a small but oh-so-delicious treat that’s made from ice cream and
peanut butter. It’s the most popular novelty food in the US.
Coffee Alternatives
Due to the weather conditions and rising temperatures, the coffee

harvests have been affected. The price of coffee has also increased
due to the limited supply.
Alt coffee is also an increasing trend. There are also single-serve
tea bags that are caffeine-free. These products are very similar to
traditional coffee.
A golden milk drink is also becoming a new favorite. This drink is
made with milk and spices, and it’s usually served hot.
Allergy-Friendly Foods
In the US, there are around 32 million people with food allergies. It
has been estimated that one in thirteen kids have at least one food
allergy. Since there are few safe options in the grocery store,
parents are more likely to create their kids’ food.
There are also individuals who make it themselves by creating
products that are 100% allergen-free. Christine Allen started
Mo’Pweeze after she couldn’t find anything that was suitable for
her kids with food allergies.
Partake Foods is an online store that sells allergy-friendly mixes
and cookies. There are also apps that help consumers find
establishments that offer allergen-free products.
The number of people with food allergies has increased
significantly. This is also evidenced by the number of user
comments on allergy-friendly food blogs.
Eating to support mental health
In the past two years, 48% of Americans have focused on
improving their mental and emotional health. If so, then it’s time
to start consuming more functional food and drinks.
From energy drinks to detox and recovery aids, there’s a whole
slew of products that promise to improve your health. Take a look
at these products and accept that a new healthy ritual is just a part
of a whole wellness puzzle.

Giada De Laurentiis, a celebrity French television personality, has
also launched a new show called Simply Giada, which is inspired
by her book “Eat Better, Feel Better.”
Indigenous restaurants
This list is mainly comprised of individuals who are teaching us
that food is important. Many of them are Native and Indigenous
activists, chefs, and makers. This list is also for those who are
underrepresented and have a hard time accessing foodways who
have therefore fought for food sovereignty.
Expect to see more people interested in the food that Native and
Indigenous chefs are cooking. We especially admire Crystal
Wahpepah, who is the first Native American to compete on
“Chopped.”
She has created seasonal menus that feature dishes made from
local corn and buffalo. Another noteworthy example is Sean
Sherman, the creator of The Sioux Chef, a modern Native
American restaurant in Minneapolis.
You won’t find traditional colonial ingredients on menus at many
establishments. Instead, you’ll find dishes made with indigenous-
produced ingredients.
Ice Cream Snacks
The disruption of working and home life has caused us to eat
differently. Since we’re now focused on consuming more than just
food, we’re also consuming frozen dessert bars as a snack.
Instead of being served ice cream, frozen treats are becoming more
prevalent. These are low-calorie, individually wrapped, hand-held
ice creams that are usually less than 500 calories.
