McCormick's 2024 flavor of the year is tamarind, and the company released a small-batch sweet and sour Tamarind and Pasilla Chile seasoning to celebrate.
Global spice brand McCormick and Company has named tamarind its 2024 "Flavor of the Year," releasing a new seasoning blend to match it. About the seasoning: McCormick made the announcement in the 24th edition of its Flavor Forecast, an annual report released since 2000. Its latest seasoning, Tamarind & Pasilla Chile, blends the sweetness and sourness of the tamarind fruit, the mild heat of pasilla chile — the dried form of the Mexican chilaca chili pepper — and the savory notes of coriander, onion and paprika.
