Team nuance!: Denise Purcell, vice president of content and education of Specialty Food Association, which highlights trends in global, artisanal foods, told Business Insider that more and more food retailers and purveyors are thinking about how to incorporate heat to complement the foods we eat rather than overpowering our experience. "The trend seemed to be the hotter, the better — like ghost pepper and whatever the hottest pepper is," Purcell said. "Let's see if people could handle it. And that is giving way a little bit to this more nuanced heat idea, where it's not just all about burning your tongue and seeing what your tolerance is. It's heat that enhances the flavor. It's things like hot honey we see now in a lot of menus and a lot of packaged products." https://lnkd.in/eYKiygh4 via Lloyd L., Business Insider #specialtyfood #

🌶️ The Hottest Food Trend This Summer: 'Swicy' 🍓🍍 Have you tried the latest food trend that's taking the UK by storm? This summer, it's all about 'swicy' — a delicious fusion of sweet and spicy flavours. From the launch of Coca-Cola Spiced to Starbucks introducing spicy dragonfruit, pineapple, and strawberry lemonades, the 'swicy' trend is everywhere. It's fascinating to see this flavour combination gaining popularity, with sales for spicy-labelled food and beverages increasing by 9% year-over-year. A significant part of this demand comes from the younger generation—Millennials, Gen Z, and even Gen Alpha—who are more adventurous and have a global palate. QSRs are also jumping on the 'swicy' bandwagon with new, exciting menu items. Jimmy John's has rolled out its firecracker menu, while Subway has launched its fiery subs lineup. What 'swicy' combinations have you tried, or are looking forward to trying? 🔥 #Swicy #HottestFoodTrendThisSummer #FieryFlavours
