2021 has been a roller coaster for all of us. From indulging in comfort food to trying new food fusions, there have been preference changes caused by the onset of Covid-19.
Consumers have been more concerned about their health and what they eat, and this focus will prevail for years. Health and wellness remain a priority among people.
Consumers are looking for ingredients that provide nutritional benefits in their everyday diet, says flavors and ingredients manufacturing company Embassy Ingredients.
These consumer habits will increase the demand for natural, clean label, and plant-based products into 2022 and beyond.
Plant based food has taken the market by storm. With every passing year there is growth in the percentage of people moving towards veganism.
Baking will come up with a spicy and ethnic twist. With these emerging trends, the focus to deliver new and exciting flavors hasn’t gone down. Last year was all about comfort and indulgence but 2022 is going to be spicy.
Flavours like Nashville Mac & Cheese, Buffalo, Mango Habanero, Chili Raspberry, Mexican Hot Chocolate, Cardamom, Allspice, will bring a new twist to pies, cookies, pastries, and more.
