# Chewy Kiwi Chips Thriving on Paleo's Dehydrated Fruit Chips Recipe Only Needs One Ingredient By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2015-05-09 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruit-chips References: [thrivingonpaleo](http://thrivingonpaleo.com/dehydrated-kiwi-chips/) Thinly sliced apples and bananas are some of the most common fruit chips, but Thriving on Paleo's creation is a simple snack made with kiwis instead. The exotic, yet easy-to-make fruit snack calls for thin slices of the green fruit, which are then placed on the tray of a dehydrator or the oven for drying out. Rather than coming out crispy as you might expect, the chips tend to have a chewy texture instead. For this reason, they are likened to "nature's sweet and sour candy," which is bound to be appealing to kids and adults alike. Unlike a dried vegetable chip that usually has its flavors enhanced with a variety of herbs and spices, the natural sweetness of fruit means that only one ingredient is required for the super simple recipe. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Fruit Chip Snacks:** Opportunity for companies to innovate by creating distinct and unique flavors of natural fruit chips. - **Dehydrated Fruits:** Opportunity for companies to introduce dehydrated exotic fruits for snacking and health benefits. - **Chewy Texture Snacks:** Opportunity for companies to create new snack textures that are both healthy and satisfying. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food Industry:** Opportunity for food companies to introduce new snacks and diversify product lines. - **Health and Wellness Industry:** Opportunity for companies to market chewy, dehydrated fruit chips as a guilt-free alternative to traditional snacks. - **Dehydrator Industry:** Opportunity for companies to create affordable, easy-to-use dehydrators for use in homes and by chefs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Better-for-You Fruit Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/betterforyou-fruit-chips.md) - [One-Ingredient Fruit Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crispy-crunchy-pineapple-slice-chips.md) - [Antioxidant-Rich Jackfruit Chews](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jackfruit-chews.md) - [Chocolate-Covered Orange Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-orange-chips.md) - [Crispy Dried Peach Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peach-chips.md) - [Healthy Dehydrated Fruit Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibe-foods.md) - [Vacuum-Crisped Apple Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-lady-apple-chips.md) - [Kid-Friendly Freeze-Dried Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freeze-dried-snacks.md) - [Crunchy Fruit-Based Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dole-good-crunch.md)
