2020 changed the way Americans and much of the world approached what they ate. Unfortunately, COVID-19 is not in our rear-view mirror as of yet, but what we have learned so far is the importance of what we put into our body to fuel our day and maintain total body health. Although many of us have turned to eating healthier in recent years, food technology is working to help us emphasize our total body health even further. Here are just some of the various food technologies that are trending in 2021.
One of the more surprising trends of the modern food enthusiast is the insistence on alternative proteins. Where we have seen products such as Boca Burgers and meatless alternatives in stores for many decades, it is only now we are seeing fast food chains embrace meatless protein alternatives for the masses. Meatless chicken nuggets and even the Impossible Whopper from Burger King have been embraced by vegetarians and meat eaters alike. New technologies have introduced ways to use products such as soybeans and other meatless alternatives in products that look, taste, and smell like the real deal, so more people are embracing certain enhanced alternative proteins in their own diet.
Food is fuel, but it is also considered a form of medicine when used correctly. Natural food sources have a wide range of health attributes. Food as medicine is not a new concept, but many food manufacturers are working harder to promote the medicinal nature of their products, otherwise known as nutraceuticals. With so many people focusing on their personal health these days, nutraceuticals have become remarkably popular. These types of foods can be probiotics, prebiotics, or postbiotics, but they are derived from natural foods that have been traditionally proven to promote natural healing.
Food is essential for every human, but due to the individual makeup and idiosyncrasies of our bodies, no two humans are exactly alike. Never before has there been so many options for what to eat and where we can get it from. One of the newest concepts introduced in the past few years is the notion of personalized nutrition. Food companies are introducing personalized meal shakes that use DNA to provide users with a personalized meal replacement shake based on the person’s individual makeup. Companies such as this are pushing the boundaries of what can be done with food and how it can improve the lives of so many.
Not only are we fascinated by what foods can do for our bodies in 2021, but also where our food comes from. An awareness of microorganisms in food and the potential for getting sick has given us more of a focused attention to our food’s origin and who has touched it.
