Who hasn't snapped a photo of their meal at home or a restaurant? Food pics on Instagram are a daily ritual—often mocked, but always popular. Beyond perfect lighting and filters for those like-magnet shots, the right hashtags are essential for maximum reach.
SousVideTools.com, a leading provider of professional and home food vacuum sealers, surveyed Instagram's top non-dessert food hashtags. Pizza crushes the competition with nearly 20 million mentions. Sushi claims second (over 13.4 million), followed by chicken (11.9 million). Rounding out the list: salad, pasta, bacon, burger (7th place—surprising!), eggs, steak, salmon, avocado, soup, tacos, sandwich, fries, ramen, curry, noodles, lobster, and sausage. Missing from the ranks? Cheese—likely due to the English-only hashtag focus.
