Kroger is one of America’s leading supermarket chains, and the buying habits of their customers can give us valuable insight into what will be in and out in 2025. Their experts gathered all this data and composed a list of five food trends worth trying next year, from briny foods to plant-based protein.
Plant-Based Protein
Plant-based food experienced a huge boom in recent years, and it will be going stronger than ever in 2025. Kroger predicts a boom of vegan foods with high protein content, including beans, lentils, and hemp seeds.
Private Labels
Buying food dupes by private store labels instead of opting for similar products by national brands is a great money saver, and more people will use this strategy to lower their grocery expenses in 2025.
International Spices
Fans of all things spicy will be happy with Kroger’s forecast since their experts are predicting the rise of spices and peppers from international cuisines.
Caesar Dressing
Caesar dressing is never going out of style, but the days when we’ve only used it in our salads are long behind us. Kroger predicts we’ll start mixing it up with everything from miso and tahini to black garlic and start adding it to a wide variety of different dishes.
Briny Flavors
If you’re a huge fan of acidic, briny, and fermented foods, such as olives, pickles, sauerkraut, and kimchi, you’ll be happy to hear they’ll be going stronger than ever in 2025.
