CORNERING THE MARKET
Coming Soon: Elote & Korean BBQ Flavored Almonds!
Blue Diamond is thrilled to launch two exciting new flavors to the snack nut family: Elote and Korean BBQ! Both flavors can be found on the shelves of Walmart this May, then will become available in other stores shortly after.
Elote, (pr. eh-LO-tay) Spanish for “corn cob,” is a Mexican dish where corn on the cob is grilled, brushed in a mayonnaise cream sauce and topped with chili powder, cheese, and lime. It is often sold from food carts in Mexico and is a favorite treat in the Hispanic community. While we are always working to delight the taste buds of all generations and communities, we’re especially excited about the release of Elote because the awareness of this trending flavor is highest amongst the Hispanic community, Millennials, and Generation Z. 45% of U.S. consumers want more Mexican and Latin flavors made available in their favorite snacks.

The idea for the Elote flavor came from the creative mind of Dionisius Gunadi, a Blue Diamond intern who serves on the Innovation team with Jennifer Eastman and Amrita Mann. After he came up with the idea, he worked with our seasoning vendors to create the seasoning. He then seasoned the almonds in the lab and led sensory evaluations to come up with the best flavors to move forward. Dionisius is also a current UC Davis student, and we are grateful for his amazing work on developing this delicious flavor. Korean style barbecue (also known as gogi gui) is a method of grilling meats on a grill that is inlaid right into the dining table. The meat could be marinated in either a sweet or savory sauce and is cooked in front of customers on the table grill. And since “65% of consumers are interested in trying new cultural foods at home” (Study Finds Source: OnePoll; 2020), we’re proud to say that Korean BBQ boasts a fantastic, flavorful kick of smoky, sweet, and spicy. Along with that, Korean BBQ’s popularity is spiking as it is now one of the top ten flavors consumers crave. NEW!
