Sweet-Brown Flavors for Fall
To add a touch of tasteful elegance to your next dinner party, you don’t need a budget for fine wines, lobster, or a world-class cognac. A simple dessert laced with Sweet-Brown flavors and textures will do just fine. With the pending holidays and winter months in mind, affordable and delicious sophistication can be easily achieved with a nutty-chocolate-toffee or a graham cracker crusted, apple pie topped with sweet cinnamon cream. Hungry yet?
What is the Definition & Appeal of Sweet-Brown Flavors?
Just to be clear, when we say Sweet-Brown Flavors, we are talking about sweet flavors whose natural hues are off-white to amber brown or even cocoa-black. This class covers a broad range of sweet-tasting flavors from honey, to caramel, through cookie dough, circling around assorted nuts, drizzling past brown sugar, and ending in a fold of dark chocolate fudge. Indeed, with a little creativity the list of Sweet-Brown flavor combinations available for use in foods & beverages numbers well into the hundreds. If that list doesn’t make you salivate, you may need to see a dentist for a replacement sweet tooth.
Why are Sweet-Brown Flavored Products so Appealing?
- Instinctually humans are drawn to high sugar, high fat, high caloric, comfort foods, especially in times of stress. In fact, research shows that “reaching for the cookie jar at the first sign of bad news may be healthy. Comfort foods actually stem the tide of stress-related hormones that are released when people are acutely exposed to stress.”
- People in most cultures grow-up with traditions around which sweet-brown flavored foods and beverages are considered treats served to celebrate profound and joyful occasions.
- Sweet-brown flavors are generally and universally liked or loved based on objective analysis. Though not all sweet-brown-type flavors are universally liked, we believe it possible to find a widely acceptable sweet-brown flavor pairing for nearly any food or beverage product.
