 SPOTLIGHTWelcome to South America—a veritable melting pot of culinary techniques, native ingredients, immigrant influence and memorable, distinctive cuisines. Indigenous crops include familiar favorites such as corn, sweet potatoes, avocados, peanuts and chocolate. But as consumers embrace and seek out new flavors of global cuisine, ingredients such as yucca, yerba mate and guanabana are making their way onto U.S. menus. The most important ingredient in Peruvian cooking—the aji amarillo pepper—brings a bright, fruity and complex flavor to sauces and seafood, growing 124% on U.S. menus over the past four years! These and other exciting ingredients can be used in authentic dishes like Brazilian feijoada, Peruvian ceviche or Chilean cazuela. And they're also versatile tools for putting a unique fusion spin on proven menu items, such as sliders, flatbreads and smoothies. At its core, South American cuisine is rich in grilled meats, stews, seafood and even pizza—types of dishes already beloved by patrons in the U.S. Bring a mix of familiarity and curiosity to new menu items as you explore the flavors of the continent.
