Three to five years ago Lardcore (salty, fatty meat) was what cash-strapped Americans were spending their money on. In recent years the shift to juice cleanses and avocado toast signals a huge change. Healthy is in and vegetable cuisine is hip. Diners are regularly passing over meat dishes in favor of dishes that mainly contain vegetables. At some restaurants around the country meat is even being relegated to sidekick, where the main attraction is a bean-stuffed cabbage leaf with a side of pork fat to bring it all together.

Specific vegetables are also having their moment in the sun. Kale has been trendy for a while now, but it is no longer the hottest vegetable around. Brussels sprouts are gaining more and more attention over time. They have an amazing crunch and can be eaten raw or cooked. A major benefit of eating Brussel sprouts is that they have a lot of sulfur in them, which encourages the liver to properly detoxify the body from toxins and waste. Crucifers like cabbage, kale, and Brussel sprouts might have a bitter taste, but they can be crunchy and crispy, making them super addictive.
