Seasoned Seaweed Crisps

SeaSnax's 'Chomperz' are Branded as "Strangely Addictive" Seaweed Snacks

— April 19, 2017 — Lifestyle
Chomperz by SeaSnax are healthy snacks for kids made up of seaweed curls that are coated in rice and lightly seasoned to make up flavors like Onion, Barbecue and spicy Jalapeno. The simple snacks boast a minimalist ingredient list, yet SeaSnax promises that its Chomperz are a snack that is more satisfying and hearty than popcorn, as well as "strangely addictive."

At Natural Products Expo West's New Hope NEXTY Awards this year, SeaSnax was recognized for introducing the Best New Natural Kid's Product.

Over the past year or so, seaweed snacks of all kinds—including those that are chilled, flavored or covered in chocolate—have risen in popularity, partially because plant-based snacks are in high demand at the moment and seaweed is a rich source of protein, antioxidants, minerals and other essential nutrients.
Trend Themes
1. Rising Popularity of Seaweed Snacks - Seaweed snacks of all kinds have risen in popularity, presenting opportunities for innovative products and flavors.
2. High Demand for Plant-based Snacks - The demand for plant-based snacks creates a market for healthier, more sustainable alternatives to traditional snacks.
3. Recognition of Natural Kid's Products - Natural kid's products, like SeaSnax's Chomperz, are gaining recognition and represent a growing market segment.
Industry Implications
1. Healthy Snacks - The healthy snacks industry can capitalize on the rising popularity of seaweed snacks by offering innovative and flavorful options.
2. Plant-based Food - The plant-based food industry can develop new and exciting plant-based snacks to cater to the high demand for healthier alternatives.
3. Children's Food and Beverage - The children's food and beverage industry can tap into the growing market for natural and healthy products specifically designed for kids.
