Top 100 Food Ideas in November

From Climate-Friendly Cake Mixes to Vegan Cheese Spreads

— November 25, 2023 — Lifestyle
From ramen to boxed cake mix, the November 2021 food trends reveal that just about every beloved food item is in the midst of getting a plant-based makeover.

While plant-based products are nothing new, the popularity of vegan-friendly fare has expanded the number of dishes that now come in animal product-free varieties. For instance, Immi is a new instant ramen brand that creates low carbs, low sodium, high fiber, and completely plant-based noodles blends.

And some brands are even going beyond plant-based to also ensure their products are sustainable. For instance, the November 2021 food trends highlight a product called Climate Hero Super Cake Mix. Created by Brave Robot, the Climate Hero Super Cake Mix is a classic yellow cake mix made from animal-free dairy products and sold in a compostable bag.
