This month’s collection includes toasted black sesame syrup, Mexican breakfast smoothies and ready-to-drink Vietnamese Coffee
Foodservice syrups producer Torani, San Leandro, Calif., revealed its 2023 “Pourcast Flavor of the Year” and a new offering: Torani Puremade Toasted Black Sesame Syrup. Officials say it addresses two major consumer trends: “culinary tourism” and “Instagrammable” experiences.
Torani says Black sesame seeds are a versatile ingredient prevalent in Japanese, Chinese, and Indian dishes. They are commonly used in both savory and sweet foods and beverages. Those familiar with Japanese cuisine might recognize black sesame as a component of furikake seasoning, while fans of Indian cuisine will know it as a key ingredient in the dessert black sesame ladoo (also called black til ladoo).
