According to recent research conducted by The Food People, consumers have become “tropical obsessed” as individuals look for holiday twists in their daily lives to boost their moods and give them that holiday feeling! Watermelon, coconut, passionfruit and mango are amongst some of the favourites. In terms of dishes - homemade mango salsa, goat curry, jerk chicken, plus lesser known dishes such as bbq pineapple and coconut pavlova. There has also been growth in tropical and Caribbean spices, marinades and flavours - particularly for BBQ’s and summer eating.
It is clear that the challenge of the Covid-19 Coronavirus is both unprecedented and global in nature and we are all feeling it in both our personal and professional lives.
