It’s the end of 2016, which means everyone is rounding up what they thought was hot this past year and giving their predictions for the future. None of these might be as important, or interesting, as what Pinterest has to say. Food is the number-one reason people go to Pinterest, so they have a good sense of what people are saving and Pinning on their platform. With millions of ideas being added every day, Pinterest might have the best knowledge of what people want next.

Here are the top 10 recipes and ingredients that Pinterest has identified as being super trendy for 2017. Have you tried anything on this list?
