Mushrooms are still a hot food trend this year, the Mushroom Council reports. “The mighty fresh mushroom has placed high atop annual culinary forecasts served up by media and other trend spotters,” according to a news release from the council. Last year, in fact, The New York Times named mushrooms the “Ingredient of the Year.”

Would you eat a burger made of insects? Entomos is the first company in Switzerland allowed to breed and sell edible insects — like mealworms, crickets and locusts — as a more sustainable way to produce food.

Plating and Serving

Do you also never get tired of watching food plating trends? We've put together a bunch of creative plating styles that we like, some are classics, some we've seen trending over the last year or two.  

Insects

Entomophagy refers to the human consumption of insects or bugs. Humans have harvested the eggs, larvae, pupae and adults of certain insect species from forests or other suitable habitats, for the purpose of eating them, for thousands of years.

Edible Insects are a sustainable source of protein, and are an important part of our food future. The way we farm our edible crickets uses less energy, less water and creates less greenhouse gases than traditional forms of protein.
