Marketers talk about the "low fat" lifestyle and the "heart-healthy" lifestyle. When the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture established National Organic Standards in 2002, the action triggered yet another lifestyle for Americans.
A year later, by late 2003, the Whole Foods Market Organic Foods Trend Tracker (sponsored by Whole Foods markets and performed by Synovate Inc.) found 47 percent of Americans polled reported they ate more organic products that they had before the label initiative.
Consumers are looking for low-fat, organic, natural healthy foods. The largest study to date to examine the nutrient content of organic food has found that it is generally more nutritious than conventionally grown produce. The excitement over lycopene has sparked interest in tomato-based sauces. The establishment of organic standards has legitimized the organic sauce market.
Lots of products can be sauces, depending on how they are used. Pesto and salsa are sauces, gravies are basically sauces, and fruit sauces (essentially purees with additional ingredients) have avoided the curse of fats to become acceptable garnishes for meats. Basic types of sauces include vinaigrette, pesto, pasta sauces, mayonnaise or bearnaise types and roux (the butter and flour types), including blond roux, brown roux, bechamel and sauce Supreme. Commercial sauces have several priorities, including long shelf life, acceptable levels of fat, cost control and organoleptic superiority.
Kitchen Powerhouse was formed in 2001 specifically for processing organic foods, and initially found a niche in organic and natural sauces. It's getting easier to source organic ingredients, says Winnie Bi, the purchasing manager for Kitchen Powerhouse. "There are more products available, and prices are acceptable. Products we make are growing more mainstream: we're shipping them to industrial customers who processed their healthy frozen entree to specialty markets like Wild Oats and Whole Foods. Children's food products also rely heavily on sauces, but the category confounds some product developers because children are at a point in life when tastes are developing and often changing.
Consumers has been benefit for low-fat, organic, natural healthy foods diets. Organic low fat sauces are easy to use for preparing your home make meals, you can apply the organic marinade, sauces or dips with your favorite meats, poultry and/or fish. You can also use it for grilling or saute with meats and vegetables for a tasty and low fat home meal.
