/The Food Industry Bucks Trends
While others reel, the food industry is experiencing a boom.
COVID is breaking down long standing barriers for Foods
As if the millions of banana breads you saw on Instagram weren't indication enough, survey says:
54% of Americans are cooking more at home
46% are baking more
75% say they're more confident in the kitchen
73% say they are actually enjoying cooking
Could this be a revolution in American living? Strong signs from the data point to a sea change, with Americans feeling they eat healthier when they cook for themselves.
Added bonus: Consumers are buying groceries online in record numbers.
