The most noticeable food trends in 2021 are the changes caused by the prolonged pandemic period. As external activities are restricted, food delivery and non-face-to-face cooking classes are expected to increase, and as the time at home is extended, interest in breakfast, home-made pasta, meal kits, and fast food is expected to increase. There is also a trend of single-person desserts and snacks.

• Cooking crafts
• Boards of all kinds
• Expanding your cultural horizons

The culture created by the online environment is also notable. In Korea, making food and plating that are suitable for posting on SNS, such as the dalgona coffee, are expected to be popular.

Issues about environment and health still continue. Vegan food and eco-friendly packaging will be easier to find around. There will also be a growing interest in natural and healthy pickled and fermented foods.
