Food trends from here and there and everywhere

PotatoPro.com compiles its end-of-year "Trends in Food Trends" report, which presents a selection of predicted food trends for 2011 from food, research and packaging experts from around the world.

Almost a dozen articles provide an overview of what to expect for the coming year in foods and beverages for retail as well as for foodservice and restaurants.

The clear winners from 2010? Simplicity, sustainability, changes in nutritional claims, "Free from," home cooking, energy, Xtreme flavors, connectivity (power of the collective) and the ongoing battle between brands and private label.
