THE TOP 20 MOST POPULAR FOOD HASHTAGS FOR INSTAGRAM IN 2024
Before you get into the top 20 most popular food hashtags for Instagram, let me tell you a truth you probably do not want to hear.
The Instagram business model is an incredibly sophisticated “money extraction” machine.
Instagram will deliberately let you build a big organic reach, then change the algorithm to lower your reach and make you pay to get you the same level of reach you previously had for free.
Even marketers in the top fastest-growing industries have to spend plenty of money (boosting their Instagram posts) to reach their hard-earned followers.
Serious food marketers and food business owners who have taken my marketing strategy training sessions or are subscribed to my exclusive newsletter are already using real & proven marketing techniques to build audiences they own, increase their sales and not get distracted with vanity hashtagging.
Trust me.
The actual gains of posting popular food hashtags are minimal if you have not properly crafted a top marketing strategy, delivered optimal customer service or met your marketing objectives.
Two reminders:
- You do not own your followers’ data on Instagram. You cannot transfer your hard-earned followers to another platform. You must build raving fans and followers on platforms you own. I will show you how.
- Instagram wants you to pay for ads. Full point. The Instagram algorithm will deliberately make it harder to show your content to your followers for free. Stop wasting time and activate proven growth hacking techniques.
Yeah, that’s right, food marketers and business owners (like you) are getting tired and bored of posting on Instagram and not getting results.

Tip: Some restaurants are using fake (faux) artificial plants as decor for their food/dish photography but this may send a message to customers that you may also be using fake or artificial ingredients in the preparation of your dishes. Keep your food photography natural and real. If you include a flower or a plant in your Instagram photography, then show real natural ones.

“As Instagram is showing content to just a few of your followers, forget about hashtags and invest in proven marketing strategies and activities that drive real sales in channels you fully control”
Mau – senior digital marketing specialist at eDigital.
Restaurant managers and food business owners who are not offering junk food or soft drinks in their venues are contributing to making their clients and local communities healthier. Offering scientific-based information about the food you sell to your customers not only shows respect but will also delight customers who take pride in looking after themselves.
These actions will increase repeat visitation and customer loyalty. They will also decrease customer churn rate (Number of customers who visited you once and never come back).
When posting on social media, add hashtags that promote your commitment to healthy food such as:
#nonprocessed
#zerosugar
#nofat
#nosalt
#nopreservatives
#madelocally
#freshproduce
#nomsg
#noartificialflavours
#noartificialcolours

Tip: Add hashtags to your Instagram Stories to have chances of being displayed on the Instagram Explore page using the hashtag sticker (you can only add one hashtag) or use the text tool (you can add up to 10 hashtags), you can even hide them by placing a sticker on top of them or use the colour tool to make the hashtags invisible but still findable.
