The global appeal of U.S. spices

摘要

Unique seasoning blends continue to grow in worldwide popularity. Although the majority of spices exported to the United States come from numerous countries worldwide, it is the unique seasoning blends of American manufacturers that have increased popularity and demand with importers. One opinion offered by industry members of what factors are responsible for the increased popularity of spice blends originating in United States is the worldwide appeal of the American way of life. This desire to emulate the lifestyle of the United States includes both culture and cooking. Among the seasonings finding increased popularity with countries overseas are the spicy blends comprising Cajun and Creole cooking styles. Found in abundance in the Southwestern United States, it is the state of Louisiana that is home to both of these cooking styles.
