International Breakfast

Consumers embrace exotic takes on traditional breakfast porridges

Implications - Consumers are embracing globally sourced recipes that incorporate exotic flavors previously unexplored in Western cooking. The incorporation of global flavors in traditional recipes suggests a growing interest on the part of consumers to expand their cooking repertoire in a way that satisfies a desire for both flavor and nutrients. This shift reflects both the hyper-conscious nature with which consumers consider the ingredients in their dishes, as well as a growing desire for experimentation when making their own goods.
Workshop Question - How can you enable consumers to experiment with their experience of your brand offering?
Trend Themes
1. Global Flavors - Increased interest in incorporating exotic flavors from around the world in traditional breakfast recipes to satisfy consumer desires for both flavor and nutrients.
2. Substitutes for Traditional Ingredients - Developing unconventional breakfast porridge recipes that allow consumers with dietary restrictions to enjoy a healthy and comforting morning meal.
3. Savory Breakfasts - Creation of savory breakfast porridge recipes to provide alternative options for consumers and expand their cooking repertoire.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - Industry professionals within this sector can improve their products by including or offering a variety of global flavors in breakfast meals and by providing alternatives to traditional ingredients to cater to unique dietary restrictions.
2. Health and Wellness - The increased focus on healthy breakfast options that utilize innovative and nutrient-rich recipes like savory porridges presents opportunities for businesses to market products towards people who are health-conscious.
3. Hospitality - Business professionals within the hospitality sector can offer unconventional breakfast porridge dishes with out-of-the-box ingredients as a unique feature, and cater to consumers who have grown bored of traditional breakfast foods.
