esarom Flavour of the Year 2027:

POMEGRANATE

November 5, 2026
Trends

Consumers are looking for flavours that deliver both intensity and authenticity. With its vibrant sweet-tart profile, pomegranate perfectly captures the taste preferences shaping 2027.

We are therefore officially
declaring pomegranate as the

Flavour of the Year 2027.

5 REASONS

why pomegranate is key

1 A flavour that plays in 5 dimensions

Pomegranate delivers sweetness, acidity, and a distinctive tartness all at once.

Three dimensions, one flavour. That complexity is exactly what premium positioning demands.

2 Profit from a pairing powerhouse

Pomegranate harmonises with citrus, berries, florals, and spices alike. That broad compatibility fuels your innovation pipeline and opens the door to differentiated recipes across categories.

5 Benefit from the asian flavours wave

Pomegranate follows this trend, with China leading global product launches and several other Asian markets ranking among the most active innovators in the category.
