Barbeque is a cooking style as well as a type of food. It is a term often used with variations in many regions worldwide to denote the various cooking methods involving live fire and smoke. It typically involves cooking meat, such as beef, chicken, pork, or fish, over an open flame or grill using wood or charcoal for smoking to impart flavor. Barbecue sauces are used for marinating, basting, or as condiments or toppings over the meat or other dishes cooked in the barbecue cooking style. Though the sauces vary in taste and flavor, the commonly used sauces include tomato paste, onion powder, mustard & black pepper powder. There are regional variations in barbecue sauces, such as Kansas City’s style sauces, Texas style, Alabama white sauce, Memphis style, and a lot more.
The prime factor leading to a surge in the consumption of BBQ sauce is the rising popularity of the BBQ cooking style. With the increasing health consciousness and desire for a healthier lifestyle, consumers are inclining towards protein- and vitamin-rich diets, compared to traditional carbohydrate diets. Deep frying of food destroys its protein content and proliferates fats and cholesterol in the body. Hence, consumers are seeking better alternatives, such as BBQ cooking, to nurture the original nutrient content and secure taste.
Further, the BBQ cooking style has its health benefits. Of all, this cooking style involves the consumption of vegetables, restoring the required nutrients in the body. Smoke cooking decreases the fat content in the food and does not add cholesterol to the body. The cooked food is easy to eat and digest. Moreover, grilling can be performed outdoors, along with other physical activities. With the shift of consumption trend from carbohydrates to the protein-rich diet, the meat market is expanding, leading to growth opportunities for the barbecue sauce market.
