WHY ASIAN?
Today, on-trend Asian flavors pop up on menus of every segment, menu part and price-point! Nearly 40% of consumers say their last global dish was Asian influenced. ¹ Where people go, flavor follows – in 2020 the fastest growing population was Asian, growing by 36% in the last 10 years, according to the US census. ² That growth will likely influence future food trends toward Asian food and ingredients!
THE FLAVOR IS KEE
31% of consumers are looking forward to new global foods and flavors! ³ We offer an extensive portfolio with roots stemming from a number of regions in China and beyond. Regional flavors are a window to the world, with unique and cravable flavor profiles. Keep up with trends and understand how to introduce consumers to these global flavors through mainstream applications. Check out our quarterly newsletter for inspiration!
UMAMI has seen +23% growth on menus in the last 4-years! One of the easiest ways to deliver on Umami is using a Chinese Style Soy Sauce. The difference? A full-bodied flavor and strong soybean aroma. Chinese Style Soy Sauces ferment under sunlight anywhere from 3 to 6 months. Rather than stabilizing the tempearture we let mother nature take control, resulting in a soy sauce that offers complexity in marinades, dips, and much more. As the saying goes, all good things take time.
