Blended Meat Products

混合肉制品

We may see the arrival of more blended meat products. In blended burgers， the non-meat portion may consist of mushrooms， pea protein， potatoes， squash， or carrots， among other plants. Such burgers are lower in fat， cholesterol， and sodium and higher in fiber and essential nutrients than traditional burgers.

我們可能會(huì)看到更多混合肉制品的出現(xiàn)。在混合漢堡中，非肉類部分可能包括蘑菇、豌豆蛋白、土豆、南瓜、胡蘿卜等植物。與傳統(tǒng)漢堡相比，這類漢堡的脂肪、膽固醇和鈉含量較低，纖維和必需營(yíng)養(yǎng)素含量較高。

Flour Substitutes

面粉替代品

One reason flour substitutes rose to prominence is the growing concern about celiac disease and gluten intolerance. Although you may already be familiar with coconut and almond flours， how about flour made from bananas， cashews， dragon fruit， mango， apple， carrots， sweet potato， or peanuts？ Cakes， cookies， breads， and more will soon be available using a variety of novel alternative flours.

面粉替代品興起的一個(gè)原因是人們?cè)絹?lái)越擔(dān)心乳糜瀉和麩質(zhì)不耐癥。雖然你可能對(duì)椰子粉和杏仁粉已經(jīng)很熟悉了，但是用香蕉、腰果、火龍果、杧果、蘋(píng)果、胡蘿卜、甘薯或花生制成的面粉呢？用各種新奇的替代面粉制成的蛋糕、餅干、面包等就要到來(lái)了。

Healthy Snacks

健康零食

At least one survey says that two-thirds of adults snack at least once a day. Now it seems that people want healthier snacks， so the industry is meeting that call. One area that is gaining attention is puffed and baked snacks. Another is protein snacks， sometimes plant-based and typically savory and crunchy.

不止一項(xiàng)調(diào)查顯示，三分之二的成年人每天至少吃一次零食。如今，人們似乎想要更健康的零食，所以食品行業(yè)正在響應(yīng)這一需求。其中一個(gè)備受關(guān)注的領(lǐng)域是膨化和烘烤零食;還有一種是蛋白質(zhì)零食，這種零食有時(shí)以植物為原料，通常又香又脆。

Non-Alcoholic Drinks

無(wú)酒精飲料

Unique non-alcoholic options are popping up everywhere， from menus at the worlds most acclaimed bars to specialty stores. Many of these beverages seek to recreate classic cocktail flavors using distilling methods typically reserved for alcohol， creating an alternative to liquor meant to be used with a mixer rather than a drink on its own.

從世界上最受好評(píng)的酒吧菜單到各地特色店的菜單上，獨(dú)特的無(wú)酒精飲料正在興起。許多飲料都試圖使用酒精專用的蒸餾方法來(lái)重現(xiàn)經(jīng)典的雞尾酒風(fēng)味，制造出用來(lái)混合而不是單獨(dú)飲用的酒精替代品。

Nootropic Foods

益智食品

Foods that are healthy for your brain are gaining popularity. Nootropics are drugs or supplements that promise cognitive benefits， and brain-healthy foods have been termed nootropic foods. Many of these foods you may already eat， such as eggs， turmeric， salmon and dark chocolate.

對(duì)大腦有益的食物越來(lái)越受歡迎。所謂益智藥就是承諾具有認(rèn)知益處的藥物或補(bǔ)充劑，而對(duì)腦健康有益的食品就被稱為益智食品。其中許多你可能已經(jīng)吃過(guò)，如雞蛋、姜黃、鮭魚(yú)和黑巧克力。

Sugar Substitutes

糖替代品

We have been gradually moving away from white table sugar and honey and embracing other sweet choices. We may see a rise in the use of syrupy reductions from fruits and starches， such as coconut， dates， pomegranates， sorghum， and sweet potatoes.

我們已經(jīng)逐漸遠(yuǎn)離蔗糖和蜂蜜，開(kāi)始接受糖替代品。我們可能會(huì)看到人們更多地食用水果和淀粉，如椰子、棗子、石榴、高粱和紅薯等，從而減少糖漿的攝入。

Better Frozen Foods

更好的冷凍食品

A new wave of “real” food meals will be available in the frozen food aisle that are better in flavor and quality， while leaving out unwanted ingredients. They are more nutritious and more varied in cuisines. These frozen meals have organic ingredients， flavors from around the world and contain a lot less salt.

冷凍食品區(qū)將會(huì)出現(xiàn)新一波的“真正”食物，它們的味道與質(zhì)量都會(huì)更好，不含沒(méi)必要的調(diào)味料。這些冷凍食品更富營(yíng)養(yǎng)且易于烹飪，不但含有有機(jī)成分，而且擁有來(lái)自世界各地的風(fēng)味，同時(shí)鹽含量也少得多。

Soy-Free Plant-Based Foods

不含大豆的植物性食品

When plant-based eating first broke into the marketplace， soy was king. Now consumers are looking for soy-free plant-based foods， especially since some people are allergic to or intolerant of soy. We may see more soy-free foods made from seeds， mung beans， and other alternatives.

當(dāng)植物性飲食第一次進(jìn)入市場(chǎng)時(shí)，大豆是王者。現(xiàn)在消費(fèi)者正在尋找不含大豆的植物性食品，特別是因?yàn)橐恍┤藢?duì)大豆過(guò)敏或不耐受。我們可能會(huì)看到更多不含大豆的食品，其原料來(lái)自種子、綠豆和其他替代品。

Ugly Produce

丑陋的農(nóng)產(chǎn)品

Ugly produce is just as nutritious and delicious as its perfect-looking counterparts. Now that consumers are more aware of the problems of food waste， they may seek out imperfect fruits and vegetables that may have gone to waste in the past.

外觀丑陋的農(nóng)產(chǎn)品與外觀無(wú)瑕的同類產(chǎn)品具有一樣的營(yíng)養(yǎng)和美味。由于消費(fèi)者們已更加意識(shí)到食物浪費(fèi)的問(wèn)題，因此可能會(huì)尋求那些在過(guò)去或許會(huì)被浪費(fèi)掉的不完美的水果和蔬菜。
