Eating habits and food choices are ever-evolving. Tastefully Simple brings in seasonal products inspired by the latest food trends and the way people are eating. For Spring-Summer 2022, there are five food trends inspiring our new products.

Trend 1: Better Burgers

Tropical Flavors

Did you know Americans eat 50 million burgers per year? The appetite for burgers is big and we are looking for new ways to enjoy a good burger – stuffed, mini-sized and topped with specialty sauces. This season Tastefully Simple has the tools for you to make a better burger. Explore these fun ideas.

Trend 2: Charcuterie

Charcuterie boards continue to grow in popularity. They are the ultimate easy party food and are even becoming a grab-and-go dinner option for families. It’s simple to build a board. Start with your favorite dipping sauces and cheese balls and then build the board with a mix of flavors and textures – crunchy, sweet, briny, and meaty. Everyone can do it.

Trend 3: Booze Infusion

All kinds of foods like BBQ sauces, ice cream and even whip cream are having their flavor enhanced with a bit of alcohol to intensify flavor. Most prominently we are seeing beers, ales, bourbon and vodka used in this way. Bountiful Beer Bread® and Bayou Bourbon™ Glaze continue to be top sellers and are on trend, again, for spring. I encourage your to get a bottle or two of our sauces for your summer grillouts.

Trend 4: Hint of Heat

In a recent survey of US consumers ages 18 and older, 80% of consumers enjoy hot and spicy foods to some degree and over half of those surveyed eat spicy food at least once a week. Flavors like cayenne, jalapeno and chipotle are at the top of the list to heat up snacks, soups and dinners. If you like a little extra kick, check out the Nashville Hot Seasoning. It’s back by popular demand after being a top seller in the fall.
