The Specialty Food Association's 69th Summer Fancy Food Show featured over 2,400 exhibitors and highlighted new trends in food and beverages. A prominent trend is the fascination with global flavors, especially Asian, Indian, and Caribbean cuisines, indicating consumers' readiness for diverse flavor experiences. Auria Abraham's Malaysian Kitchen epitomizes this trend, introducing products like her mango sambal.
