10 Food Trends That Will Go Viral on Pinterest in 2016

Coconut oil has long been the darling of foodies and healthy eaters alike, but is the world ready to replace the tropical-flavored oil with one made from avocadoes? Refined avocado oil has a high smoke point like coconut oil but with a less intense flavor and more affordable price point.

Pinners have moved on from saurkraut and are now, according to Pinterest, looking to ferment something stronger, like whiskey and other liquors.

Infusing olive oil with citrus peel, chili, hardy herbs, and garlic is the easiest way to instantly add flavor to dishes. The only thing to be aware of is that botulism is no joke when it comes to DIY infusions. Be sure to read up on proper food safety to avoid icky bacterias from growing inside the bottle.

Savory french toast? Count me in! Sure sugary recipes will always have a place in our heart, but wouldn't you like to see more savory takes on pancakes, muffins, and more?

Forget the drip coffee makers. Pinners are preferring the artisanal pour-over coffee method these days. Guess that means you don't need to spend $4 a cup at your local coffee shop.

The mason jar has been dethroned. Bento box meal planning is the newest eye-catching way to organize your food.

Perhaps what Pinterest means to say by "gourmet spins on traditional cultural cuisine" is that Americans aren't afraid to experiment with spices and flavors from around the world. Since it's so easy to have specialty ingredients delivered to your door, people are open to trying that Thai curry recipe rather than resort to chicken noodle soup.

Brewing homemade beer: it's a craze nearly any hipster with access to a garage is into. We have a feeling all beer-loving folks will join in on the craft more and more.

Who isn't trying to lighten their drinkload? Beertails, aka cocktails made with beer, are the answer people have been waiting for.

Zucchini noodles, cauliflower rice, and mashed parsnip are replacing traditional carbs at a faster rate than ever. It's the easiest way to sneak in veggies and lighten your carb load. And no, it's not just for Paleo people.
