The [dried grape product](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freezedried-fruit-bites) complements other Sun-Maid dried fruit, yogurt-covered raisins and fruity raisin snacks and it's touted as a "[meatless munchie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cricket-jerky)" that's naturally vegan and gluten-free, nutritious and made without additives. This sun-shriveled treat for adventurous snackers speaks to a wide range of outdoor lovers. The new Grape Jerky was made available for purchase for a limited time on April 1st on the brand's Sun-Maid market. While many brands have released similar novelty food products on April Fool's Day, these outside-the-box ideas often turn into real products based on consumer demand. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 11% - 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) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Whole Fruit Snacks:** The trend of whole fruit snacks presents opportunities for businesses to create healthier and convenient snacking options. - **Novelty Food Products:** The trend of releasing novelty food products can create buzz and generate consumer demand for unique and creative snacks. - **Meatless Munchies:** The trend of meatless snacks presents opportunities for businesses to cater to vegan and gluten-free consumers who are looking for nutritious and flavorful snack options. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Companies in the food and beverage industry can take advantage of the trend of whole fruit snacks and meatless munchies to create healthy and unique products that cater to a wider range of consumers. - **Health and Wellness:** The trend of whole fruit snacks and meatless munchies presents opportunities for companies in the health and wellness industry to create nutritious and convenient snack options that promote healthy lifestyles. - **Marketing and Advertising:** The trend of releasing novelty food products presents opportunities for companies in the marketing and advertising industry to create buzz and generate consumer demand through creative and unique campaigns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gummy Jerky Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chew-topia-gummy-jerky.md) - [Flavor Combination Raisins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blueberry-vanilla-yogurt-covered-raisins.md) - [Adult-Targeted Fruit Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunmaid-farmstand-reserve.md) - [Cold-Pressed Fruit Jerky Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solely-fruit-jerky-multipacks.md) - [Nutty Sweet Jerky Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jack-links-duos.md) - [Vegan Mushroom Jerkys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eat-meati-jerky.md) - [Better-For-You Beef Jerky](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krave.md) - [Raisin-Themed Haunted Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/themed-haunted-house.md) - [Extra-Sour Frozen Grapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/extreme-sour-watermelon-blast-grapes.md)
