Food trends are in a constant state of flux, shaped by changing consumer preferences for organic, vegan, and plant-based options, as well as considerations for dietary restrictions like those for people with diabetes and people adhering to religious dietary requirements. These trends also encompass concerns related to ingredient sourcing and animal welfare. They include the introduction of novel ingredients like yuzu, alternative proteins, and even insects into food products in the U.S.

The cannabis sector is a hotbed of innovation, especially when it comes to food, beverages, and dietary supplements. In states where cannabis is legalized, consumers have access to a wide variety of cannabis-infused food products, including candies, soft drinks, and capsules. Certain markets even offer convenient packs of cannabis-based ingredients to enhance culinary creations and beverages in the home kitchen.
