The better-for-you snacks maintain recipes made with avocado oil to prioritize a shift away from seed oils in the larger market. The snacks includes the Garden Veggie Straws in 13-ounce bags that will come in Sea Salt, Sour Cream & Onion, Zesty Ranch and Cheddar Cheese flavors, which each have sweet potato added to the recipe. The Garden Veggie Puffs come in the Mac n' Cheese and Walmart-exclusive Pizza flavor to work well for cheese fans. The Hain Celestial Garden Veggie snacks are also reported to contain no artificial preservatives or flavors as well as no FD&C certified colors or dyes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 7.8/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 59% - 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 - **Shift From Seed Oils:** A transition towards using avocado oil instead of seed oils is gaining traction, reflecting a broader trend in consumer demand for healthier ingredient alternatives. - **Flavor Innovation in Snacks:** Introducing unique flavors like Pizza for the Garden Veggie Puffs highlights a trend in offering exclusive and novel tastes that cater to adventurous snackers. - **Clean Label Movement:** The absence of artificial preservatives, flavors, and dyes in new snack offerings indicates a significant shift towards transparency and clean labeling in the food industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Healthy Snack Foods:** The increasing demand for better-for-you snacking options positions this industry as a key player in redefining snack time with health-conscious offerings. - **Retail Partnerships:** Collaborations between brands like Hain Celestial and retailers such as Walmart showcase an effective strategy to broaden distribution and drive product innovation. - **Natural Food Ingredients:** An industry focus on eliminating artificial additives creates opportunities for suppliers to develop natural ingredients and flavor enhancers that meet this growing consumer preference. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Clean Label Veggie-Based Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-veggie-snacks-products.md) - [Christmas Tree-Shaped Veggie Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-veggie-holiday-trees.md) - [Veggie-Infused Snack Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happy-orchard-products.md) - [Veggie-Rich Stick-Style Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jacksons-super-veggie-straws.md) - [Veggie-Made Avocado Oil Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/good-health-veggie-snacks.md) - [Snacking-Friendly Plant-Based Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gosh-veg-bites.md) - [Snack-Inspired Pool Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-veggie-splash-pack.md) - [Savory Veggie-Packed Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harvest-snaps-flavors.md) - [Piquant Plant-Based Tortilla Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-nacho-cheeze-tortilla-chips.md)
