It’s that time of year again: With New Year’s resolutions underway, everyone’s scoping out predictions for the biggest 2018 food trends so they can get healthy and stay relevant at the same time. Luckily for all of us, Whole Foods gathered their food experts and buyers to create a list of what they expect will be the most popular foods this year.

In case you’re having trouble envisioning trendy foods being part of your wedding plans (edible insects made this list last year…ick), we’ll give you an idea of how each item on this list can help keep your wedding menu on the cutting edge.

Floral Flavors

All brides expect to carry flowers with them as they walk down the aisle, but this year, Whole Foods experts might suggest you include some on your menu as well. And the applications are endless. Think about it: cocktails infused with floral liqueurs (hello, St-Germain!), edible flowers on desserts, and rose-flavored everything. You can even match your color palette or bouquets to the flowers on your plate—familiar florals like lavender, lilacs, orchids, and pansies can be sourced for use in food (no pesticides, please!).

Super Powders

Perhaps it’s a bit far-fetched to think you’ll have protein powder in anything at your wedding, but that’s not where this trend ends. The coffee-loving couple—or a pair that’s decided on a brunch wedding—might consider a signature coffee cart drink with matcha or turmeric. A latté with one of these super powders will give your guests the boost they need to party all reception long.

Feast from the Middle East

The experts at your favorite organic grocer are calling for foodies to move beyond easy entry points like falafel, hummus, and pita bread to get a deeper understanding of the individual cultures of specific Middle Eastern countries. With Persian, Israeli, Moroccan, Syrian, and Lebanese cuisine cited as major influences this year, consider exploring spices like harissa, cardamom, and za’atar; and dishes like shakshuka, grilled halloumi, and lamb. For more liberal guidelines on how to get in on this trend, start with some of the most popular ingredients for cuisine from this region: pomegranate, eggplant, cucumber, parsley, mint, tahini, tomato jam, and dried fruits.
