The home improvement industry has seen a significant increase in home improvement and do-it-yourself purchases over the past decade. Much of this growth can be attributed to the new television networks and shows that inspire home owners to try their hand at improving their living space. The same is happening in the food industry. The increase in networks and shows dedicated to cooking and innovative edible concoctions has encouraged individuals to try their hand at new culinary feats.
Today’s cooking shows do not cater to the simple ‘home cooking’ many Americans were raised on. These shows take great pains to introduce new ingredients and combine elements not previously paired. Add to this effect the need for more potent spices to entice the aging baby-boomers diminishing taste buds, and you have a steady growth in exotic spices, vegetables, fruits and other ingredients that were little known or appreciated in previous generations.
The American palate appears to be changing and food producers are offered a great opportunity to take advantage of this new trend. Consequently, product packagers will need to monitor this trend to keep in touch with the evolving needs for new packaging products and methods.
