What do Griffith Food culinarians think about the latest texture trends?

Craveable Texture, one of the trends from the 2026 FlavorIQ® Food & Flavor Outlook, showcases how texture is a powerful way to innovate and differentiate your offerings while enhancing flavor perception.

We asked our chefs the hard questions to reveal their textural preference in this week’s This or That?

Flavor and texture need to work together to create memorable food experiences.

Consumers are “highly sensitive to texture,” says Chef Ana Sáenz, and delivering on expectations is a must. Still, unexpected textures can appeal to consumers’ curiosity and desire for novelty—so balancing the unique with the familiar is essential.

For Craveable Texture’s double take, Chef Ana developed a silky coconut flan, plated over a delicate coffee-panko crumble with NutriAmor® coffee ice cream, coconut brittle and rich Griffith Foods Mochaccino Sauce.

Chef Girish Kumar, meanwhile, filled lightly crisp puri shells with creamy avocado mash, chopped prawns marinated in Custom Culinary® Achari Seasoning and spicy Habanero Mango Sauce pani.

See what they have to say about their dishes.

This March, we’re celebrating the colors that bring energy, excitement, and craveability to your menu. In foodservice, color isn’t just visual appeal; it’s a signal of big flavor and dishes that draw guests in.

We’re kicking things off with red and orange: the foundation for bold dishes that bring the heat.

True Foundations® Birria Broth delivers the true Latin-inspired richness, serving as a base for tacos, ramen mashups, sip-style broths, and slow-simmered specialties.

True Foundations® Thai-Style Broth, crafted with coconut, lemongrass, and lime, adds a bright character to bowls and plant-forward builds.

Which color is your kitchen’s secret weapon?

What do our chefs think about protein-rich diets?

The first trend from the 2026 FlavorIQ® Food & Flavor Outlook is “Powered by Protein”, which was partially inspired by the rapidly increasing number of online conversations about high protein diets.

To keep the conversation going, we asked chefs and culinarians rapid fire questions to see what they prefer from high-protein foods.
