The Sacramento Bee and Phil Lempert, a food trends expert known as the “Supermarket Guru”, are predicting that milk will be a hot trend in 2011, in fact it made number 5 on their list!
The new year is just about here, and we’re looking at which food trends are in store for 2011. Some foodstuffs never seem to go out of style, like bacon being included in everything from ice cream to chocolate. What else can we look forward to in food for 2011? We asked national and local experts for their predictions, and provided a couple of The Bee’s own.
5. Milk
Got milk? Lempert predicts that more of us will start drinking milk regularly for dietary reasons.
“I’m predicting the rise of milk, not as flavored or sugar-added but plain old milk,” said Lempert. “It’s about really touting the whole aspect of vitamin D deficiency. People understand the solution isn’t to overdose on supplements, but getting those vitamins naturally from foods.”
