Food Industry Researcher Lists Top Trends In Natural, Organic Eats

A food industry research organization has come up with a list of top trends in organic and natural foods. Heading the list is lentils, a food that has grown in popularity as people search for plant-based proteins. Lentils are now found in pasta and waffles, to cite two examples. Other trends identified by Sterling-Rice Group include: prebiotics, “co-biotics” and probiotics; beets (in juices, fruit leathers and yogurt); whole grains in beverages; grass-fed beef, chickens and pigs; “beeless” honey made from fruits; savory sauces and dressings; African superfoods such as nutrient-dense baobab fruit snacks to moringa leaf snack bars and bissap tea.
