Over the years Key food trends can be revealed via Google search. From the rise and fall of recipes over diets and drinks to cooking trends and regional cuisines.
The first visualization shows the top Google search volume for different things related to food i.e. Veganism, Moscow Mule, Fat-free etc.
Another best thing about this visualization is that it appropriately shows the collected weekly trend of a number of dishes and ingredients over the past 12 years. These searches were then plotted on a year clock.
The attractive thing about this visualization is that after plotting on a year clock we can investigate the seasons and rhythm of food around the world. It shows that when is the google search for dishes or ingredients at peak, a radius of the clock gives us the number of the google search, The volume of the google searches in particular months highlights the natural season of the food.
The best part is that the visualization has shown which food is at the peak in a month. It shows the natural season of the food including food and veggies.
Also, it shows the most common patterns across the year, i.e, which items fade in and fade out in a year, which food items are at peak during the holidays or special events.
It also shows that the seasonality varies across the world.
