"What are the flavors and scents that will lure you to buy certain products in the upcoming year? According to marketing research firm Mintel, the popular flavors of 2010 are a continuation of Americans&amp;#039; continuing interest in spicier, more exotic flavors.  &amp;quot;As the economy recovers, we expect people to continue the trend of eating at home,&amp;quot; said Lynn Dornblaser, Mintel&amp;#039;s leading new products expert in a release. &amp;quot;The home   cook is becoming more advanced with his or her cooking skills by trying new spices and flavors, as well as preparing everyday items in new ways.&amp;quot; 1. Cardamom: Popular in India and Scandinavia, cardamom is originally from Asia Minor and is a very popular ingredient in Turkish cuisine, as well. This spice turns up in southern Indian curries and Swedish pastries (although Swedes use white cardamom rather than green, which is bleached and has a more subtle flavor). 2. Sweet potato: Fans of the sweet potato already know it&amp;#039;s a powerhouse for nutrition, and it turns up more frequently now as a substitute for regular potatoes as French fries and chips. 3. Hibiscus: Usually served as an ingredient in herbal teas, hibiscus is a rich source of Vitamin C. The dried flowers produce a brilliant, deep red color when steeped and have a stimulating, citrusy flavor. Called &amp;quot;Jamaica&amp;quot; in Spanish, it&amp;#039;s a popular flavor for the refreshing aguas frescas. 4. Cupua\u00E7u: For members of the Super Berry of the Month Club, this is expected to be the latest in what is turning out to be a long string of fruits ascribed with spectacular powers. Like a\u00E7ai and goji berries before it, cupua\u00E7u has suitably exotic origins \u2013 the Amazon \u2013 and is loaded with antioxidants. 5. Rose water: Long a favorite in Middle Eastern and Indian cooking, rose water is exactly what it sounds like, distilled rose petals. Highly aromatic, it&amp;#039;s also used in cosmetics for its fragrance. 6. Latin: American cooking will continue to reflect the country&amp;#039;s growing Hispanic influence. Look for more and more Latin spice and flavor combinations in various products. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
