Meat & Poultry: Seasoned and marinated
" Trending flavors are favoring traditional combinations with the
addition of an added flare, such as spicy honey or ancho BBQ, " he said.
" A traditional flavor profile with an added or highlighted additional
touch. You are not going too far out on a limb, while still being
experimental and taking advantage of the push for healthy added
ingredients, to boot. "
The lingering impact of the pandemic has consumers even more
hungry for flavor exploration in 2023 that can work for both familiar and
lesser-known flavor profiles.
" There was strong momentum a few years ago where people were not
just wanting to try things that were considered large geographical cuisines,
but more regional based cuisines, flavor profiles, and ingredients, " Shepke
said. " Instead of Mexican, you would have an emphasis on regional aspects
or ingredients that make up Mexican cuisine such as ancho, guajillo, or
poblano peppers. This rang true and still does in 2023. "
Some trending flavor profiles for sauces, dressings and marinades
" One thing you can't escape right now is hot honey, and that ties
back to the 'swicey' mechanism, " Masters said. " Black garlic is another
flavor gaining traction, and major retailers are going to be offering this a
lot more in the months ahead. "
Tyler Shepke, R&D manager and certified food scientist for Excalibur
Seasoning, Pekin, Ill., noted that people are flocking to the meat counter
to get a great cut of meat that is already pre-seasoned or marinated so
that all that is needed is to cook the meal.
that he has noticed this year include sweet and spicy, such as spicy
honey, mango and chamoy, and Thai chili & honey; citrus and tropical
flavors, such as yuzu, mint, and dragon fruit; botanical and floral
fusions, such as elderflower, hibiscus, rose, wild fennel and dandelion
greens; and regional BBQ with a fusion twist, such as, Texas, Memphis,
Alabama, Carolina, and Kansas City BBQ fused and highlighted with
specific spices/flavors from other cuisines like cardamon, tajin, alcohols,
and chili peppers.
