They're Busy but Want to Cook More Often
Fifty-three percent of Gen Z enjoys cooking. Twenty-six percent make most of their own food, and 71% “would love to learn how to cook more.” Eggs, pasta, rice, vegetables, cookies or brownies, pancakes, waffles, and French toast top their list of favorites.
What are the food preferences of Generation Z?
Gen Z has shown a preference for healthy eating, including more organic and natural foods that are free of additives. This is largely because they are growing up during an age of health and wellness where consumers are paying more attention to the ingredients list compared to prior generations.
In our survey, we asked consumers how frequently they consume the following fast food by category: burgers, sandwiches, pizza, chicken, world cuisine, and snacks. Amongst who frequently (more than 5 times a month) eat fast food, Gen Z-ers and Millennials both prefer chicken and snacks as their go-to fast food items.
