Made with the goodness of cashews and other healthy ingredients, the snacks give consumers a nutritious way to curb their cravings. The Cashew Crunch snacks from True North are vegan-friendly clusters made from a combination of cashews and crunchy rice crisps. The bite-sized clusters are then sweetened with a hint of organic sugar for a subtly sweet flavor. With their mild flavor and crunchy texture, the nut clusters are perfect for adding to yogurt, oatmeal or simply enjoying on the go. Free from gluten, dairy and GMOs, the crunchy cashew snacks are a healthy and delicious way to snack on the go. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **On-the-go Snacking:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing new convenient and nutritious snack options with a focus on portability. - **Vegan-friendly Snacks:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating plant-based snack alternatives that cater to the growing demand for vegan options. - **Healthy Indulgence:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Formulating guilt-free snacks that combine healthiness and indulgence. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Snack Food Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing innovative snack products that align with changing consumer preferences for healthier on-the-go options. - **Plant-based Foods Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Expanding plant-based snack offerings to cater to the increasing number of consumers adopting vegan diets. - **Convenience Food Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating convenience snack options that provide a balance between nutrition and taste, capturing the busy consumer market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gently Dehydrated Nut Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rich-nuts.md) - [Snacking-Friendly Granolas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/go-raw-snacking-granola.md) - [Crunchy Superfood-Infused Nut Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-alternatives-for-snacking.md) - [Savory Gluten-Free Snack Clusters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handfuel-expanded.md) - [Globally Inspired Nut Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cashewbased-snacks.md) - [Salty-Sweet Nut Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skinnydipped-salty-sweet.md) - [Seasonal Chai Nut Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nut-medley.md) - [Flavor-Forward Cashew Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cashew-nut-snacks.md) - [Savory Textural Snack Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/natures-heart-crunch.md)
