Word of the year:

Regenivore, namely someone who eats to heal the earth.

Snack of the year:

Chicken skins.

Tuber of the year: ube.

“Ube, a slightly nutty-tasting, vanilla-scented purple yam from the Philippines, is showing up on lots of trend lists and in all kinds of foods and drinks, from pies and waffles to lattes and ube coladas. It easily made the list of colors and flavors that capture the mood of 2023 compiled by the food-processing giant ADM. The yam’s popularity is riding on an interest in food with bright, natural colors like dragon fruit, lychee and purple Peruvian corn. Also rising: floral flavors like vetiver and ylang-ylang.”

Vibe of the year: Communal eating is making a comeback.

Space will play an influential role.

“In the same way that the Apollo era popularized Tang and freeze-dried ice cream, a renewed interest in space travel will influence how we eat and drink in 2023. Anything having to do with space will be big as people look for the optimism and inspiration that seem in limited supply on Earth. Already, there are climate-friendly Moonshot crackers (the wheat was farmed using regenerative methods) and Starlight, a limited-release Coca-Cola drink that calls itself “space flavored.” (What exactly space tastes like has spawned deep debate online.) “Top Chef” contestants cooked for astronauts this year. Experiments in growing food in space will fuel interest in vertical gardening and vegetables that can grow in stressed environments on Earth.”
