#cabbage

Cabbage is often relegated to the foods we buy when we are being frugal or on a health kick. It may be a food that you hated in your childhood, so you don't revisit it in adulthood, or you only eat it when you're making a specific recipe that includes it. This is a shame, as it's such a versatile food. It's also affordable, highly nutritious, and long-lasting, so it offers us benefits on all fronts.

Food trends for 2026 include sweet-and-spicy flavors, as well as bite-sized menu items. Cabbage and Indian food are gaining popularity on fast-casual and restaurant menus. Value meals and nostalgic foods, such as chicken tenders, remain important for fast-food chains. The new year brings a fresh crop of food trends, from sweet-and-spicy sauces to the hottest new vegetable hitting menus. We looked at trend reports from Tastewise, Pinterest, Yelp, and more to identify nine of the biggest food trends you can expect to see in 2026.
