So what are people likely to be eating more of when they go out in 2015. As always, the best place to look for clues is The United States. What grew in popularity there last year is likely to grow in popularity here this year.  Here are three top trends from the San Francisco Fancy Food Show:

1. Toast -Small cafes and restaurants nationally are embracing it as comfort food, featuring artesian bread, small dairy butter and toppings from almond butter to salted avocado. French toast in its many forms is also growing in popularity.

2. Dark Chocolate – Dark, darker, darkest is the trend when it comes to chocolate. Apparently people like it because its high in flavonoids, it has less sugar and it’s good for the brain.

3. Seaweed – Seaweed is  turning up in  multiple products. For example, Ocean’s Halo is selling seaweed chips in flavours such as Texas BBQ and Chili Lime. Seaweed also showed up in other snacks, such as almond seaweed crisps and onion seaweed crunch. It’s healthy,  sustainable, and has 30% of your vitamin B12 requirements and 30% of your vitamin A.

So if you’re looking to get into the food business, or want to give a boost to a café or restaurant, there could be some clues here.
