Kerry releases 2018 Flavor Charts predicting top flavor trends
Kerry, the Taste and Nutrition Company, has released its 2018 Flavor Charts as part of the company’s future-focused review of today’s trending flavors and the most anticipated flavors of the future. The predictions for 2018 characterize the large movements and subtle trends shaping the food and beverage flavor landscape of America.
Kerry’s predictions forecast that the coming year will bring further specificity to the origin of flavors as consumers seek truly authentic flavor experiences. Consumer thirst for authentic experiences has generated a surge of unique flavors and blends that are true to the ethnic cuisine. Simmering over the last few years, Asian cuisines are primed to take America by storm – along with the flavor blends unique to these cuisines such as Korean Gochujang, Indian Tandoori, Moroccan Za’atar, and Ethiopian Berbere.
