Whole Foods just released its first-ever plant-based trend predictions, calling out the foods its Trend Council says are about to take over the aisles—and beyond. Some things, like gourmet vegan cheese and plant-based meat, have been migrating from fringe to mainstream in recent years. But there's one trend on the list that may surprise even the most in-the-know plant-based eaters: banana blossoms, a vegan seafood alternative with a flaky texture and plenty of health benefits.
Parker Brody, the senior global category merchant for plant-based at Whole Foods Market, says brands are using ingredients such as legumes and banana blossoms to replicate the delicate texture of fish, specifically naming Upton's Natural Banana Blossom ($3) as one to look for on store shelves. "The purpose of substituting banana blossom for fish is similar to substituting jackfruit for pulled pork," Brody says.
