What’s trending?
Broccoli coffee
Made using broccoli powder and coffee, this trend comes from Australia. Every two tablespoons contains roughly one serving of broccoli, including fibre, vitamin B6 and vitamin E – for those who don’t eat their greens.
Spiced drinks
We’ve noticed a huge rise in spiced drinks, from cocktails to soft drinks. Think chilli & ginger Margaritas, habanero pisco sours and Jalepeño mojitos as well as soft drinks flavoured with ginger and cayenne.
Camel milk
From nut or oat to goat’s, the past few years have seen a variety of milks on the market. The latest? Camel milk. It’s been drunk for centuries in North Africa and the Middle East, but now you can buy it in the UK, in selected Asda stores.
Baobab
Noted for its high levels of antioxidants, vitamin C and potassium, baobab powder has long been sold as a supplement, but it’s now appearing in products like Fiovana lime, mint & baobab cordial (ocado.com) and Meridian peanut butter & baobab (merdianfoods.co.uk).
Craft beef
As the environmental costs associated with large-scale farming are now a hot topic, small, independent farms are gaining in profile, along with schemes like buyacow. uk where you can buy a share of a cow from small-scale British farmers.
