ingrediente transversal

Spanish to English Other Food & Drink
Más allá del postre, la fruta cobra importancia como ingrediente transversal en toda la cocina, que muchos cocineros defienden como fuente de creatividad.

En el caso del ingrediente transversal, nos referimos a un ingrediente que estará dentro de una emoción (por ejemplo Alegría radiante – Vitamina C) y que estará presente en cada uno de los productos de esa línea.

staple / key ingredient

Maybe you could say that it's a staple / key ingredient in all its products/across the entire product range?

versatile ingredient

"Transversal" does not mean "core", "key" or "staple". Depending on context, it can mean "multipurpose" ("multipurpose tool"), "transferable" ("transferable skills"), etc. In this context, I think "versatile" would be a suitable option.

And that is why it says it is an ingredient "...muchos cocineros defienden como fuente de creatividad".

I hope it helps!
