And this formula can be applied to sauces, dips, marinades, seasoning blends\u2014the list goes on. Techniques like smoking, roasting, caramelizing and pickling also help to bring out complex flavour notes from any type of fruit.<\/p>    <p>In the snack category, where crave-worthy flavours are paramount, fruit brings the perfect touch of sweetness to traditionally salty items.  Fruit\u2019s health halo can also serve as an advantage to snack brands, with items like a ginger-lime collagen protein bar in the UK finding a home on retail shelves or crunchy snacks like jalape\u00f1o-pineapple chips in the US.<\/p>    <p>Grocery stores around the globe are showcasing unique products that pair meat and poultry with fruit flavours. Examples include Brazilian linguica sausages with fig and pineapple and Canadian roasted chili lime chicken wings. <\/p>    <p>Foodservice operators are capitalizing on consumer desire for unique flavours, using fruit from all over the world to enhance menu items across categories. One steakhouse in Brazil has brought fruit into unexpected applications, such as panko-breaded shrimp with passionfruit sauce and a burger with blue cheese and balsamic grilled pears. With the plant-forward trend showing no signs of stopping, a restaurant in Spain has created a vegan brunch toast topped with avocado, tomato, mushrooms, strawberries and mango-pineapple chutney. Even a global burger chain has incorporated fruit into savory items, serving up a spicy fried chicken sandwich with apple slices and black pepper mayo.<\/p>    <div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>    <h2 class=\"linebehind smallh2\"><span>3 Insights to Discover<\/span><\/h2>    <div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>    <div class=\"wp-block-columns img-actualsize trends-watch is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\"> <div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"> <figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/griffithfoods.com\/eu\/wp-content\/themes\/griffithfoods\/build\/images\/dummy.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5623 lozad\" data-src=\"https:\/\/griffithfoods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/21-GRI-0407-NumberCircles_orange1.png\"\/><\/figure>    <h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">3 out of 4<\/h3>    <p class=\"has-text-align-center\">consumers globally recognise that the biggest dietary change followed has been to increase their intake of fruits.<\/p> <\/div>    <div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"> <figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/griffithfoods.com\/eu\/wp-content\/themes\/griffithfoods\/build\/images\/dummy.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5624 lozad\" data-src=\"https:\/\/griffithfoods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/21-GRI-0407-NumberCircles_Orange2.png\"\/><\/figure>    <h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">1\/3<\/h3>    <p class=\"has-text-align-center\">of German consumers would like to see more fruity flavours (excluding citrus) in savoury packaged food products<\/p> <\/div>    <div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"> <figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/griffithfoods.com\/eu\/wp-content\/themes\/griffithfoods\/build\/images\/dummy.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5625 lozad\" data-src=\"https:\/\/griffithfoods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/21-GRI-0407-NumberCircles_Orange3.png\"\/><\/figure>    <h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">75%<\/h3>    <p>of European consumers believe that a portion of fruit is healthy when buying a snack. <\/p> <\/div> <\/div>    <div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>    <figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full trends-remove-space-bottom\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/griffithfoods.com\/eu\/wp-content\/themes\/griffithfoods\/build\/images\/dummy.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5628 lozad\" data-src=\"https:\/\/griffithfoods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Prosciutto-Melon.jpg\"\/><\/figure>    <h2 class=\"has-text-align-center lowercase-h2 mediumitalic has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#b18c2d;font-size:34px\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#FF9300\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Fruit-Focused Culinary Inspiration<\/mark><\/h2>    <p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Fresh fruit flavours bring balance to a dish\u2014complementing the other ingredients.
