\"Healthy<\/a>Do you have any favorite snacks that you loved as a child but no longer eat? If you do, it wouldn\u2019t be a surprise as many New York City employees no longer eat the same foods that they did as children. Besides changing palettes, changing food trends also influence which snacks<\/a> people eat during their lifetime. In 2018, there were several trends including botanicals, transparency, sustainability, and indulgence foods that caused the preferred list of snacks to evolve yet again.<\/span><\/p>\n

Botanicals<\/b><\/p>\n

Edible plants and flowers with a variety of health related benefits are making an appearance in snacks and beverages<\/a> in the United States. Some of the more recognized ones include ashwagandha (Indian ginseng), ginger, lavender, curcumin (the active ingredient in turmeric), carob bean pods, chamomile blossoms, chia seeds, flax seeds, hibiscus, elderberry, and passionflower. To make it easier for consumers to use these botanicals when they aren\u2019t already a listed ingredient, several companies have prepared and prepackaged them for individual use.<\/span><\/p>\n

Transparency<\/b><\/p>\n

New York City consumers also want to know more about what they eat and drink. It\u2019s no longer enough to learn just the ingredients or how many calories are in something. In addition to information about the packaging, the number and type of artificial ingredients, and sustainable production, consumers want to know where their food came from and how it was handled along the way. Being able to know as much as is possible about a specific product helps potential consumers to feel a personal connection to their food. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Healthy<\/a>Sustainability<\/b><\/p>\n

In regards to snacks and beverages, sustainability has expanded to include more than farming practices or land management. Today, it includes creating as little food waste as possible by using all of an ingredient. For example, if a watermelon is used as an ingredient, the rind and seeds are no longer thrown away. Instead, they are used to create new and interesting snacks and beverages. This process goes a long way to decrease unnecessary food waste.<\/span><\/p>\n

Indulgence Foods<\/b><\/p>\n

The category of indulgence foods includes exactly the type of snacks and beverages that it sounds like. High-quality, organic dark chocolate is a great example. When compared to a very inexpensive, highly-sweetened milk chocolate, consumers, especially Millennials and Gen Zs, will choose the high-quality dark chocolate. Reducing the amount of sugar consumed and choosing non-GMO, organic, and clean-label products are more important than decreasing the amount of fat or calories consumed. <\/span><\/p>\n
