When it comes to desserts, there’s plenty of creativity to be had through flavor and color innovation, both of which produce can enhance. Fruits like strawberries, bananas, and apples are classic dessert components, but consider stepping out of the box with emerging produce trends. Global varieties like pandan (a green tropical plant from Southeast Asia), ube(a Filipino purple yam), and taro (a root vegetable used in Asian and African cuisine) are all growing on dessert and bakery menus, according to Datassential MenuTrends.
