Chefs on The National Restaurant Association’s annual survey have been predicting African flavors for a couple of years now, but it still remains at 66 per cent on the What’s Hot meter for 2017. “Relatively under-explored in the United States, African flavors and ingredients increasingly pop up on menus across the country.

  1. Purple grains: Whole Foods predicts that the color of the year is found in purple cauliflower, black rice, purple asparagus, elderberries, acai, purple sweet potatoes, purple corn and cereal.
