Top-4 Nutrition trends of 2018

Last year we were hooked on poke bowls, avocados and forgotten veggies. This year again, we are all about healthy food, but we will take a slightly different approach. This is the top-4 of the nutrion trends in 2018.

#1 Plant-based food
An increasing number of Dutch people will switch from a diet with meat, fish and dairy products to full or partial vegetable nutrition. Think: more often a vegetable burger, almond milk instead of cow’s milk and lots of vegetables.

#2 Turmeric
Superfoods make way for super powders. And this is the most popular: turmeric, a spice from the Indian kitchen that keeps your digestive system healthy, prevents inflammation and helps to keep your blood vessels clean.

#3 Seaweed
Sushi remains as popular as ever, but gets competition from something that was previously seen as a Japanese side dish: wakame salad aka seaweed. Packed with proteins, tasty, low-calorie and multi-use.

#4 Edible flowers
They have been a commodity in fancy restaurants for a while, but this year, everybody will be able to enjoy them: edible flowers. Think of elderflower, hibiscus and rose petals. There is more to them than just beauty, they are also full of useful antioxidants.
