The food service industry is expected to continue growing in the coming years, driven by increasing consumer demand for convenience and diverse dining options. In particular, there is a growing trend towards the use of ethnic spices and spice blends in food service. This is driven by a desire for more exotic and flavorful dishes, as well as an interest in global cuisines.

One of the key drivers of this trend is the increasing diversity of the population. As the population becomes more diverse, there is a corresponding increase in demand for ethnic foods and spices. This is particularly true among younger generations, who are more likely to be exposed to diverse cultures and cuisines and are therefore more open to trying new and exotic flavors.

One of the most popular ethnic cuisines in the food service industry is Mexican food. Mexican food is known for its bold flavors and use of a wide range of spices and spice blends. Some of the most popular Mexican spice blends include chili powder, cumin, and oregano. These spices are often used in dishes such as tacos, burritos, and enchiladas.

In addition to traditional Mexican spice blends, we can also expect to see more fusion-style Mexican dishes featuring unique and innovative spice blends. For example, smoked paprika, chipotle, and ancho chili powder can add a smoky and slightly spicy flavor to Mexican-inspired dishes.

Another trend that is becoming popular in the Mexican food service industry is the use of mole sauces. Mole sauces are traditional Mexican sauces made from a complex blend of spices, such as chile, cumin, cinnamon, and cocoa. These sauces are often served with poultry or meat and add a rich, complex and unique flavor to the dish.

In the coming years, we can expect to see more spice blends and seasonings being used in food service. Some of the most popular spice blends are likely to be those that can be used in a variety of dishes, such as blends for curries, tandoori, chili and biryani. Some of the emerging trends in spice blends are also likely to include blends for regional cuisines such as North African, Caribbean, and South American.

Overall, the trend towards the use of ethnic spices and spice blends in food service is expected to continue. This trend is likely to be particularly strong in casual dining options, such as street food and other fast-casual establishments.
