“Our new, curated global platform is the place to discover what flavors are on the horizon, what everyone will be talking about, what you should be experimenting with and what flavors we dare you to try now,” says McCormick Executive Chef Kevan Vetter. “We invite everyone to join the conversation by following our Instagram feed.”
McCormick also lined up food and culture voices to help showcase new tastes and their own immersive experiences. During 2019, those leaders were set to travel to destinations around the world to report on flavor discovery through their own lenses, capturing imagery, video, and perspective on the future of flavor.
Get Started with a Must Try Flavor Trend for 2019: ‘The Need for Seed’
Little package. Giant punch! We’re talking seeds of the crunchy, citrusy, nutty, buttery and pungent form. It’s time the whole world started sprinkling, cracking, crusting, toasting and of course eating them on everything - like overnight coconut guava basil seed pudding, Cajun puffed lotus seed snack mix and gomasio, a Japanese black and white sesame seed seasoning blend. Seeds are food, fuel and flavor, and they give us texture, taste and wholesome goodness that makes both sweet and savory dishes pop.

After 2019: why this release still helps cooks
Flavor Forecast stayed a practical reference for spotting ingredients before they hit every grocery aisle. Seeds named in this cycle, from basil and lotus to sesame in gomasio, stayed easy to find in dips, snacks, dressings, and baking because they add crunch, aroma, and color without long prep. If you are planning menus today, treat this page as a dated press statement with recipes and gallery links that remain useful for technique ideas, such as toasting seeds for depth or pairing citrus with herbal notes. The printer-friendly PDF and recipe list in the left column still offer quick references alongside the in-page gallery link.
