Gourmet & Specially Food Trends

摘要

Some of the most lucrative and sustainable mass-market food trends debuted in gourmet and specialty markets. For example, energy beverages, nutrition bats, and sports drinks originated in the sports performance segment. Refrigerated salad dressings and pie-cut and bagged salads first appeared in natural food markets. Bottled water came from health and natural food stores; imported, artrian, and high-end natural cheeses from gourmet delicatessens; and fortified yogurt smoothies from health food storesand natur al juice bars. While not all specialty market success stories will translate to the mass market, the potential is greater than ever.
