There are still two months until 2024 comes to an end, but the trend predictions for next year are already everywhere. Kroger is one of the first brands to throw its hat into the ring and share a food trend forecast for 2025, which includes everything from Caesar dressing to plant-based protein.
Briny Flavors
Acidic, briny, and fermented foods will finally get their moment to shine in the spotlight next year, with olives, pickles, sauerkraut and kimchi emerging as the most popular options.
Food Dupes
Many people have turned to private food labels as an alternative to national brands in an attempt to save money without sacrificing quality, and this trend will follow us into 2025.
Vegan Protein
The way we consume protein will change next year, as more and more people turn to vegan alternatives, including beans, lentils, and hemp seeds.
Pepper Palette
If you’re a fan of spicy food in the mood to experiment with new flavors next year, this rising food trend is just the thing you need. Spices and peppers from international cuisines will be all the rage, including Calabrian chiles, guajillo peppers, and hatch chiles.
Hail, Caesar
Salad dressing will be stronger than ever next year, and salad won’t be the only dish we’ll be adding it to. Umami-rich dressings will also experience a boom, with flavors like miso, tahini, and black garlic.
