# Savory Coffee Seasonings The Kona Coffee Rub is Ideal for Creating Flavorful Meat Dishes By Jana Pijak | Published 2017-03-23 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-seasoning References: [amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Ohana-Spice-Kona-Coffee-seasoning/dp/B01K3AT296?tag=trenhunt0f-20) Kona's coffee seasoning is a unique rub that enhances the flavor of meat dishes like steaks, burgers and ribs. Like most barbecue seasonings, this product is blended with an array of [herbs and spices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allrounder-seasonings), offering a textured and tasty end result. The coffee rub is sold in a 5 ounce container and features [artisanal coffee ingredients](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barrelaged-coffee) that are combined with chili powder and a herb blend. In addition to its high quality ingredients, this coffee seasoning is also low in sodium and is a healthier alternative to many competing products which can feature a high salt content. Additionally, this particular product is both gluten and allergen-free, making it a great choice for those with food intolerances or even consumers who are looking to enhance the flavor of meatless menu options. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Savory Coffee Seasonings:** The trend of using coffee as a flavorful seasoning for meat dishes. - **Artisanal Ingredients:** The trend of incorporating high-quality, artisanal ingredients in food seasonings. - **Healthier Seasoning Alternatives:** The trend of offering low sodium and allergen-free seasoning options as a healthier alternative. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food Seasoning Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing innovative and unique coffee-based seasonings for meat dishes. - **Artisanal Food Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating a niche market for artisanal seasonings with premium ingredients. - **Health Food Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing healthier seasoning alternatives with low sodium and allergen-free options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Korean BBQ Spice Rubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rubrub.md) - [Hawaiian-Inspired Coffee Blends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kona-coffee-company.md) - [Premium Barbecue Seasonings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lillies-q-seasonings.md) - [Gingerbread BBQ Rubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gingerbread-bbq-rub.md) - [Coffee-Infused Hot Sauces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koffiracha.md) - [Espresso BBQ Sauces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/espresso-bbq-sauce.md) - [Organic Meat Marinades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simply-organic.md) - [Mini Spice Rub Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultimate-rub.md) - [Bourbon Pepper Seasonings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bourbon-pepper.md)
