‘Tis the season for predicting what 2026 will be\u00a0like! Many forecasts have been made about\u00a0the food trends that are awaiting us next\u00a0year, and we are excited about so many of them!\u00a0Over the past few years, we have seen food\u00a0items like cupcakes and cronuts, popsicles, sriracha<\/a><\/strong>, quinoa, and bacon rise to unprecedented levels of pop culture fandom, while\u00a0food-related conversations have hit on things\u00a0like locally-traded food, organic food, and\u00a0food trucks.<\/p>\n So what do we have to look forward\u00a0to noshing on in 2026? Let’s dig in!<\/strong><\/p>\n 1. Liquid Revolution! According to McCormick Spice Company<\/a><\/strong>, 2026 will\u00a0bring somewhat of a liquid revolution. Purees\u00a0and juices will make the rounds, focusing on a\u00a0“more fun” way to consume those 13 servings of\u00a0fruits and vegetables each day.<\/p>\n Start Now: Green Tea Power Smoothie<\/a><\/strong> or this Rainbow Smoothie<\/a> <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n 2. Middle Eastern flavor.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n With diets focusing on Mediterranean foods, it\u00a0is no surprise that 2026 could very well be a\u00a0big year for Middle Eastern flavors. Look\u00a0forward to more cumin and coriander, and dishes like hummus, pita, kebab, falafel, and lamb burgers! Sounds delicious, right? More evidence is how coriander and cumin\u00a0have been trending recently on Pinterest.<\/p>\n Start Now<\/strong>: Kalamata Olive Hummus<\/a><\/strong> and Lamb Kebabs<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n 3. Indoor gardening!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Sure, indoor gardening does not have to\u00a0automatically translate to a food trend, but\u00a0with indoor gardening being talked about on\u00a0Pinterest’s Top 100 Pins<\/a><\/strong> and Buzzfeed<\/a><\/strong>, it is safe to assume\u00a0growing your own herbs, vegetables, and fruits indoors\u00a0will be a big deal in 2026. With veggies this fresh and this local, you’ll be more inclined to eat what you grow.<\/p>\n 4.\u00a0Maple water<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Coconut water has certainly had its time to shine during recent years, but would you consider maple water? According to MindBodyGreen<\/a><\/strong>, we could see a rise in the market. Maple, cactus, and watermelon waters are all increasing in popularity. Don’t buy in to the health claim hype though; treat it as a delicious new drink that’s healthier than a soda. Don’t sip up this stuff if you think it’s the new miracle brew on the block. 6. Cookies!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Switching from the weight loss conversation,\u00a0<\/span>McCormick predicts that cookies could very\u00a0well be the dessert of the year. As we have\u00a0seen with pies and cupcakes<\/strong><\/a> in recent years,\u00a0cookies may have their time in the limelight.\u00a0With varieties beyond the classic chocolate chip\u00a0cookie, imagine dessert menus with cookie bars, cookie pies,\u00a0cookies in cups, and more.<\/p>\n Start Now: Raw Sunflower Butter Cookies<\/a><\/strong> or Classic Oatmeal Cookie Sandwiches<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Whatever 2026 cooks up, we are excited to enjoy it all!<\/p>\n Also Read:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The Best Food Gift Recipes<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n What Do Americans Eat? Kale, Gluten-Free, and Organics Top 2026 Food Trends<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Chicken, Quinoa Dominate Top 10 Food Trends for Second Year<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n images by Dana Shultz for DietsInReview.com; shutterstock; Biggest Loser: 101 Best Recipes<\/a> \/ Rodale, ABC News ‘Tis the season for predicting what 2026 will be\u00a0like!

<\/a><\/p>\n5. It’s cabbage time.<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\nKale has been a nearly obnoxious food trend for years now, and it’s not likely to slow anytime soon. But cabbage is giving kale a run for its money. Cabbage is super nutrient dense<\/a><\/strong> and has been popping up on restaurant menus more and more. Whether you’re in to bitter and sour, or a healthy crunch, it’s a versatile vegetable you can enjoy on or in most anything!
