Cada año, hay alimentos e ingredientes que cobran protagonismo. ¿Cuáles veremos más en 2025? Los cinco ingredientes que se mencionan a continuación ofrecen algo único y emocionante, y es por eso que pronto más personas los usarán.
PokeYou may have heard of this recipe before. Pictured above, Poke is the name given to a type of raw fish salad. Interest in this salad is currently on the rise, and by the time 2018 rolls around, it could be the mainstream trend that many of us want it to be. There are plenty of restaurant owners and food fans who are already raving about it, and that can only mean one thing: it will become very popular at some point. It is native to Hawaii, and that is where it is best served. So, next time you are on a Hawaiian island, be sure to give it a try.
Cassava Flour
If you are looking for a new, healthier (and gluten-free!) type of flour to use in your culinary preparations, look no further than cassava flour. It is widely used in parts of Asia and South America. Did we mention that it is also grain-free? Even if you don't have any allergies to deal with, this is a super healthy ingredient and one that many people will be using more of in 2025. It's a source of carbohydrates and it's also nut-free.
Seaweed
This type of food has been very popular among vegetarians for a long time. Seaweed is fantastic for those who want to get their fill of protein without eating too much meat. And there's no reason why other people shouldn't start eating it too. Its healthy properties are amazing and it has no negative properties. It can be cooked in many ways - just look at what the Japanese do with it. It's a very important food in Japan, a country with one of the highest life expectancy rates in the world, so they sure know what they're talking about.
Chaga Mushrooms
Don't be alarmed by their appearance. Chaga mushrooms could become the biggest superfood of 2018. They're already starting to get more attention as more people learn about their vital properties. The main benefit of these mushrooms is that they boost the immune system. They are also very good at combating any irritation that occurs in the digestive system. They calm you down and help you maintain a good digestive balance, which can be very important. On top of all that, they are quite versatile and can be used in many ways. Would you like to try them?
Insects
That's right, we said it. Insects may not seem like the most pleasant food to include on the menu, but eating them has some real benefits. They are high in protein and their consumption has no negative impact on the planet. Farming them is not harmful to the environment like raising cattle, pigs, and poultry is. Plus, insects are abundant. There has been talk of making insects mainstream for a while, but there hasn't been a breakthrough yet. Proponents of insect consumption believe that could all change by 2025. Let's see if they're right.

More Protein Drinks and Meal Replacements
Protein drinks are popular among fitness enthusiasts and gym-goers, but they haven't yet been adopted by people who just want to improve their health or use them as a meal replacement. However, this could be about to change. A number of new health food companies are launching easy-to-use, protein- and fibre-rich drinks aimed at people on the go – one such example is the brand Huel. By this time next year, this could be a trend that's spreading.
