Expanded Palate
Kids' food manufacturers are using globalized recipes to expand palates early
Trend - Kid and baby food manufacturers in North America are expanding recipes to include globalized flavors. These globally-inspired recipes expose youth to more foods and flavors early on, thus expanding their familiar palate. Children raised with expanded palates more often eat healthy, balanced diets.

Insight - Younger generations of parents in North America, namely Millennials and older Gen Z, often grew up in globalized cities with countless options for cultural foods and flavors available to them. These parents want to ensure that their children not only adopt healthy diets, but are also able to enjoy the same, if not more, varieties of foods than they have. Brands are recognizing the value of expanding the palate of children early, and are launching globally-inspired kids' meals as a response.
Workshop Question - How can your brand incorporate globalized flavors into its products to provide a more diverse range of options?
