Coconut Bacon Snacks

This Everyday Superfoods Snack Imitates the Taste of Real Bacon with Coconut

— March 8, 2017 — Lifestyle
Coconut bacon snacks and salad toppings tend to make popular vegetarian and vegan substitutes for those who do not wish to consume real or fake meat.

Everyday Superfoods' 'It's Not Bacon!' comes in flavors like Canadian Maple and Zesty Cheddar, blending a base of coconut flakes with flavorful ingredients like liquid smoke, tomato powder and spices to emulate the taste of real bacon.

While authentic bacon could hardly be considered a healthy snack, even in small quantities, these crispy coconut snacks make it possible for vegetarians, vegans and even carnivores to enjoy the flavors of bacon. The brand recommends adding two tablespoons of the coconut bacon to everything from sandwiches and bakes potatoes to pizzas, as well as cupcakes for an interesting sweet-savory flavor combination and plant-based protein.
Trend Themes
1. Coconut-based Snacks - The trend of using coconut as a base for snacks could lead to the development of more plant-based and healthy alternatives to traditional snacks.
2. Flavor Emulation - The trend of emulating the flavor of popular foods like bacon could lead to the creation of more innovative plant-based substitutes that can appeal to a wider audience.
3. Sweet-savory Flavor Combinations - The trend of combining sweet and savory flavors in snacks could lead to more interesting flavor profiles that cater to a more diverse range of tastes.
Industry Implications
1. Healthy Snack Foods - The healthy snack food industry could capitalize on the trend of using coconut as a base for snacks to offer more plant-based and nutritious alternatives to conventional snacks.
2. Plant-based Meat Substitute - The plant-based meat substitute industry could leverage the trend of emulating the flavor of popular foods like bacon to create more convincing substitutes that can attract more consumers.
3. Bakery and Confectionery - The bakery and confectionery industry could benefit from the trend of sweet-savory flavor combinations in snacks to create more unique and flavorful baked goods that cater to a wider range of tastes.
