Since 2000, the McCormick Flavor Forecast has predicted a “Flavor of the Year” –a flavor the famous spice and flavorings company believes will be big. In recent years, aji Amarillo (a medium-hot Peruvian chili), ube (a sweet, purple Philippine yam), and tamarind (a tangy, sweet tropical fruit) have each enjoyed a moment in the spotlight. This year, the honor goes to the black currant, a vibrant berry known for its tart and tangy, yet sweet flavor and its versatility in food and drinks.
