In gastronomy<\/strong>, there have been many trends, as a reflex of the change in attitude towards health and sustainability. The year of 2018 is getting pretty rich with regard to new fashions in food<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Who has not yet identified the popularity of brunch, the food in bowls<\/strong><\/a> and the spread of the avocado pear? And who has never heard of the renowned Timut pepper or the festive tea? These are just a few examples, but it is possible to mention many more.<\/p>\n

Experts point to 2018 as the year of the consolidation of vegan gastronomy<\/strong>. However, they account for a more adventurous vegetarian perspective, with the experience of vegetables<\/strong> hitherto unknown, thus providing new experiences.<\/p>\n

It should be noted, however, that not only the gastronomic options<\/strong> are producing changes in our food. The way we eat is also influenced by new technological tools and a greater social awareness.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7 Trends that have been marking gastronomy<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Food that is friendly to the digestive system<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Bowel problems<\/strong> are at the top of individuals’ health concerns. Therefore, there is a strong tendency to consume probiotic foods<\/strong>, such as Korean Kimchi and Japanese Miso. Also the prebiotics<\/strong>, like the onion and the garlic, gained some prominence.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Poke<\/strong><\/h5>\n

This typical dish from Hawaii <\/strong>has been gaining prominence in world cuisine<\/strong>. It is a kind of sushi, but it does not require a fussy presentation<\/a><\/strong>. Because it is not yet very popular, this presentation of food is very economical. In addition, it is customizable as it allows you to play with various ingredients<\/strong> depending on the taste of each person.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Timut Pepper<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Also known as fake pepper<\/strong>, this spice had its origin in Nepal. It is extremely aromatic, with floral notes<\/strong> such as rose and jasmine, and a smoky, woody touch. In its composition, we still have to mention the passion fruit and the orange, among other citrus<\/strong>, like grapefruit and lemon.<\/p>\n

This spice<\/strong> is excellent to accompany fish, carpaccio<\/em>, tartar and ceviche<\/em>, as well as crustaceans and shellfish. It is also an excellent choice for meats<\/strong>, white or red, as well as for white or fresh goat cheese<\/strong>. Fruits should also not be set aside. Note that this type of pepper may be allied with other spices<\/strong>, such as cardamom or rosemary.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Party tea (jasmine and ginger)<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Tea<\/strong> is prepared with hot water, through the infusion<\/strong> of flowers, herbs, leaves or roots. This drink has become increasingly popular, so sales for home consumption<\/strong><\/a> have been growing up. It is, therefore, likely to proliferate commercial spaces with special conditions for “tea-time”!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Herb-based Protein<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Herb-based protein, such as the bowl of avocado burrito, has proved to be one of the most popular gastronomic <\/strong>options among cooks. Due to the use of ingredients such as tofu and quinoa, it represents a rise in veganism<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This trend also results from the redefinition of Indian cuisine, rich in legumes. In effect, it has taken the restaurants<\/strong> back to the “roots” of vegetables, with originality and appeal. Meat<\/strong>-based meals are therefore expected to decline over the next few years.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. Mindfulness<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The English word Mindfulness <\/strong>means state of complete awareness. This condition results in new attitudes of consumers<\/strong>, who seek to know more and more about the food<\/strong><\/a> they consume. Knowing their origins and the way they are prepared, it becomes easier to ascertain their real value. This is, therefore, a new challenge for producers and Marketing managers.<\/p>\n

Buzzwords such as health and wellness<\/strong>, social awareness <\/strong>and nutrition<\/strong> play a very important role in gastronomy and in the process of buying food. In addition to these criteria, the cost is also relevant to buyers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. Artificial Intelligence<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Currently, artificial intelligence <\/strong>occupies an important place in the market. Solutions like Alexa<\/strong><\/a>, Google Home<\/strong><\/a> and Sonos<\/strong><\/a> are helping the consumer in the food items<\/strong> shopping process. It is estimated that in the coming years the number of smart appliances in homes will grow exponentially, revolutionizing the current concept of supermarket<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The relationship between the so-called Internet of Things and food industry <\/strong>is intense and will be, even more so, in the future. Therefore, technological devices will be primarily responsible for the replacement of essential products <\/strong>in our homes. Yet, supermarkets, as we know them today, will be responsible for the commercialization of fresh<\/strong> and special foods<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At Costa Verde<\/strong><\/a>, we work daily in order to develop solutions that meet these and other gastronomic trends<\/strong>. Both elegant and refined options, as well as casual and practical pieces, stand out for excellence and the ability to enhance the presentation of food.<\/p>\n

Lines like Saturno<\/strong><\/a>, Eclipse<\/strong><\/a> and Duo<\/strong><\/a> have cups and mugs of various shapes and capacities to serve tea. Also the Universal<\/strong><\/a> collection results from the adaptation to a new trend in gastronomy: the bowl food revolution.<\/p>\n

Dare to explore the possibilities that Costa Verde<\/strong><\/a> provides to make up your table. When choosing your dishware service, make the right choice. Choose the best quality porcelain<\/strong> pieces.<\/p>\n
