It's neither of the two: this is [organic sea salt and caramel popcorn](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartfood-chocolate-caramel). I was amazed at the presentation of **479° Popcorn**, as it's a product that is usually packaged in plastic bags or paper, or in pots at the theatre. The company called 479° Popcorn, specializes in the manufacture of popcorn. Its headquarters are in San Francisco, CA, where they use organic ingredients such as paprika, tomatoes, ginger, [cinnamon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-butter-microwave-popcorn), coconut, [cheddar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dairy-free-white-cheddar-popcorn), truffles, pepper and more to season their unique popcorn. The interesting name was chosen by its founder, Jean Arnold, because 479° Fahrenheit is the perfect temperature to pop the corn. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Eco-friendly Packaging:** The use of sustainable and luxurious packaging materials for snack foods presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the food packaging industry. - **Organic Snack Foods:** The increased demand for organic options in the snack food market creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in the organic food industry. - **Unique Popcorn Flavors:** The creation of innovative and unconventional popcorn flavors opens up opportunities for disruptive innovation in the snack food industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food Packaging:** The trend of eco-friendly packaging for snack foods offers disruptive innovation opportunities for the food packaging industry. - **Organic Food:** The growing market for organic snack foods presents disruptive innovation opportunities for the organic food industry. - **Snack Food:** The development of unique popcorn flavors presents disruptive innovation opportunities for the snack food industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sparkling Kettle Corn Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-salty-kettle-corn.md) - [Microwavable Popcorn Cobs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poppin-cobs.md) - [DIY Snacking Popcorns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourmet-popping-kernels.md) - [Premium Healthy Popcorn](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popcornopolis1.md) - [Wasabi Popcorn Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasabi-popcorn.md) - [Collaborative Olive Oil Popcorns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/extra-virgin-olive-oil-sea-salt-popcorn.md) - [Celebratory Popcorn Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-popcorn.md) - [Bakery-Approved Popcorn Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-sur-bakery-caramel-corn.md) - [Savory Prepackaged Popcorns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-proper-snacks-propercorn.md)
