Top 6 trends you should know about

Fast- food

1. Drink your vitamins
Now even Coke is good for you to the point. Just like milk and water. Diet Coke Plus comes fortified with vitamins and minerals in the U.S. Watch for fortified chewing gum!

2. Nearly Scratch Cooking
The busier your days, the less time you have to spend in the kitchen. We’ve
learned to get creative with store-bought ingredients. This gourmet peanut
butter is a great base for Thai noodles.

3. Food Experiences
Dining in the dark or in the sky, culinary tourism and single-focus restaurants
(like Hummus Place in New York, which serves only hummus) have elevated dining out to new heights.

4. Local, Fresh, Seasonal
We encourage everyone to get back to basics. Learn where your food
comes from, and eat in season. Even fast-food restaurants are now on the
bandwagon.

5. Customerization
Get what you want, how you want it. It al started with a venti, extra hot,
non-fat, vanilla, no foam latte. Now we can even tailor our granola bars.

6. The fifth taste
There’s more to life than sweet, sour, salty and bitter. The fifth taste umami is that addictive yet indefinable quality in foods that makes you want more. It’s triggered by foods like tomatoes, cheese, and red meat that contain glutamic
acid, nature’s own MSG.
