Seaganism, seaweed, and celery juice, have been touted as the newest food trends alongside a move to a ‘simpler’ life of home cooking and less materialism.
That’s according to an annual trends report put together by upmarket retailer Waitrose, which commissioned a survey of 2,000 people, not just Waitrose customers, by research company OnePoll.

‘Ingredients from the sea’ was a common theme for the year, including interest in a wide range of seaweeds, including kelp, algae, samphire, nori and aonori.

‘Seaganism’ (a vegan diet that includes sustainable seafood) also ranked in the top 10 list of trends on the up, alongside tahini, a paste made from hulled sesame seeds and used in houmous, and more unusual grains, including amaranth, quinoa, chickpeas and bulgar wheat.

Seacuterie was spotted as a new trend on menus, as a ‘reimagining of charcuturie’, using techniques such as pickling, fermenting, smoking and ageing, which began in Australia and is beginning to be used in London restaurants.
