User blog:Asnow89/Guided Tour: 2014 Food Trend Predictor

2013 was the year of the Ramen Burger, the cronut, and the Cupcake ATM...but what does 2014 hold for us? Wikia's official trendspotters, aka the Lifestyles team, had the opportunity to check out San Francisco's annual 2014 Fancy Food Show, where we got an inside look on the hottest trends that are emerging this year.

We saw everything, ranging from bacon hot sauce to raspberry creamed honey, but here are some of our favorite new foods and drinks for the year.

Sugar and spice is a classic combination...one that will make your tastebuds turn. We found three new products with a little kick that we can't get enough of. One of the major trends of the year is sriracha everything. The Jam Stand just released a Not Just Peach, Sriracha Jam that is best on waffles, toast, or even by the spoonful.

Peanut Butter & Co. produces Maple peanut butter, Cinnamon Raisin peanut butter, and even spicy peanut butter. Their fiery peanut butter is called "The Heat is On". Use it in stir fries, smeared onto a banana, or even in your PB&J.

Lately, there has been a lot of buzz about coconut water because it is rich in nutrients, reduces blood pressure, boosts hydration and more. Taste Nirvana produces a Coconut Water with Thai Chili Extract, which offers the perfect blend of sweet and spicy.



The 2014 SF Fancy Food is an annual food conference, held in San Francisco. Wikia had the opporunity to meet with hundreds of exhibitors, representing the latest in specialty foods and beverages from the U.S. and 35 other countries.
