TikTok food trends have quickly become a major influence on our cooking and eating habits. From frying eggs in green pesto to making bacon from carrots, the trends are also encouraging us to experiment with our diets!
However, with so many trends happening on all corners of the app, it can be hard to find the trends that are most appealing to your taste. With this in mind, Wren Kitchens has ranked current TikTok food trends to see which recipes are the most popular and worth your time!
Looking at google search trends data, whatever is trending on TikTok is making us experiment in our kitchen endeavours. For example, the feta pasta trend has seen searches for “baked feta pasta” increase by 3,900%! The search term “tik tok wrap” has seen a boost in searches of 2,300% and “liquid chlorophyll” has increased by over 1,000%.
The table has been compiled by how popular the recipes are looking how many views the trends hashtag has on TikTok and Google search results. The more people talking about the trend, the more popular (and therefore delicious) the recipe.
The Ranking:
| Ranking | Trend | Google Search Results | Views |
| 1 | Feta Pasta | 828k | 947.9M |
| 2 | Chlorophyll Water | 171k | 277.7M |
| 3 | Pickled Garlic | 373k | 158.4M |
| 4 | Wrap Hack | 3.7m | 125.3M |
| 5 | Pesto Eggs | 812k | 111.2M |
| 6 | Fried Pickles | 414k | 62.8M |
| 7 | Home Made Boba | 168k | 22.1M |
| 8 | Protein Coffee | 3.3m | 18.8M |
| 9 | Edible Flowers | 1m | 11.8M |
| 10 | Carrot Bacon | 565k | 8.2M |
The above shows how TikTok is proving to be hugely influential on consumer trends and buying habits.
This can also been seen across a variety of industries including interiors, appliances and especially food. For example, the power of TikTok was behind the feta shortage in Finland (where the feta pasta trend began) and in the US, feta sales increased by 45%, thanks to one simple video.
People want to try out what they see on social media, and with TikTok specialising in short form content, simple recipes do incredibly well as they are easy to mimic at home.
