CULINOLOGY® MAGAZINE

What's Trending This December?
Did you know we have an archive of almost 40 issues of Culinology® magazine? As we approach this year's December issue, let’s take a look back at the December 2016 through 2018 issues to see what's still trending! 
In December 2017, simple, clean label ingredients emerged, further emphasized at the 2019 RCA Conference with the presentation, Healthy Plus Sustainable Is the Next Generation of Clean.
The biggest contrast to note is the feature articles of 2016 and 2018. In 2016, the Ground and Formed: A Meaty Opportunity article notes that "Americans are eating more meat than ever." While in 2018, plant-derived foods "are increasingly being served not because there is a booming vegan or vegetarian movement, but simply because people are choosing non-meat entrées as they heed the recommendations of nutritionists, environmentalists and animal activists who encourage going meat-free a few times per week."
There are many more connections and resources to take advantage of through the archive and the Learning Library!
