These blends include Two Elders Creole Seasoning, All-Seeing Eye Sweet Potato Pie, and Dynamism Hibiscus Ginger Sugar. They are versatile and can be used in cooking, baking, and bartending, making them a gift for home chefs. The demand for fusion and ethnic flavor profiles is not limited to any region but resonates across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America. In these markets, younger consumers especially are driving the trend. They are eager to experiment with global recipes and incorporate international flavors into their cooking routines. Seasoning and marinade manufacturers have the opportunity to expand portfolios with internationally inspired blends, offer region-specific lines, and highlight origin stories to create deeper connections with consumers.
