PHIL LEMPERT, THE SUPERMARKET GURU - TOP FOOD TRENDS FOR 2015

THIS WEEKS TREND:

Grazing Golden-Agers: Ninety-one percent of people say they snack daily, according to Nielsen.
While snacking is on the rise among all ages and genders, research shows that snacking among consumers over the age of 65 could contribute to additional years with a higher quality of life. We’ll see more boomers – those raised in the “three square meals a day” era – employ a “grazing” approach to eating next year.

When boomers snack, they’ll focus on foods rich in nutrients like protein, fiber and Omega3s that can help promote bone health. Other popular snack choices include plant-based proteins and whole grains, like DAVID® Sunflowers Seeds and Orville Redenbacher’s® Gourmet Naturals made with with 100% whole grain popcorn.
