The Number 1 Food Trend Of 2018

Using social media it’s hard to escape the endless pictures of food as well as individual items worthy of being “instagrammable”. Looking into the food trends each year it’s easy to see that there are always a few that appear a lot more than the others, usually battling it out for the number 1 spot. Last year’s food trend saw the avocado top the sales charts in the UK as the most sold fruit, however this year another popular choice saw it’s way to number 1; Pineapple.

Yes, over the last 12 months no other item has sold more in the UK than the pineapple. Whether you enjoy it as a snack, love it on your pizza or just take lots of pictures with it for your social media content there’s no escaping the UK’s love for pineapple. Other popular choices such as avocado, watermelon and grapefruit remain firm favourites and it will be interesting to see what new food trends come to the UK.

Pineapple is of course known for its health benefits. The sweet, refreshing fruit is high in fibre and also contains a number of vitamins and minerals including vitamins A, C and manganese. With the sales of pineapples continuing to grow we’ll be seeing a lot more if it!
