17 Food Trends for 2019, According to the Buyers at Whole Foods and FreshDirect

"While there is something comforting and classic about a scoop of vanilla ice cream, some consumers are wanting something a little less, well, vanilla. The new pints on the block are adding a fresh take on a timeless treat with innovative bases like avocado, hummus, tahini and coconut water. Globally-inspired frozen desserts are also taking the stage — possibly sparked by 2018's mochi ice cream obsession and a Thai rolled ice cream craze — with icy indulgences like airy Taiwanese snow ice and Mexican nieves de garrafa, not to mention stretchy, chewy, Turkish ice creams that get their unique texture from mastic and other unique sources. Popsicles and gelatos won't be left out of the fun — they'll get some buzz with boozier infusions coming to market. Try the trend with these picks: Cado Avocado Non-Dairy Frozen Desserts, Jeni's Sorbet Frosé and Dolcezza Mascarpone and Berries Gelato." — Whole Foods Market
