# Ancient Grain Tots RollinGreens Makes Healthy Tots with Millet Instead of Potatoes By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2017-03-16 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/healthy-tots References: [bravotv](http://www.bravotv.com/blogs/weird-new-food-products-natural-cricket-bars-mushroom-coffee) & [rollingreens](http://rollingreens.com/product/millet-tots/) As an alternative to comforting tater tots made with chunks of potatoes, [RollinGreens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-powered-meal-bowls) launched a collection of healthy tots made with the gluten-free [ancient whole grain millet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paktli)—which is actually "a pseudo grain and a member of the grass family," as RollinGreens describes. In comparison to classic deep-fried potato tots, this modern, reimagined product boasts rich, nutrient-dense ingredients. Millet is extremely high in both iron and magnesium, which makes it one of the easiest grains to digest. Millet also supplies the body with calcium, manganese, fiber, B vitamins and antioxidants. RollinGreens' bite-sized, cubed Millet Tots are offered in a range of flavors, including Spicy-Sweet, Italian Herb and Original with Sea Salt and Onion Flakes, which were unveiled at the Natural Products Expo West 2017. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - 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 - **Healthy Alternative Snacks:** RollinGreens' use of millet instead of potatoes in their tots reflects the growing trend of healthier snack alternatives that prioritize nutrient-rich ingredients. - **Ancient Grains:** The use of millet in RollinGreens' tots taps into the trend of incorporating ancient grains into modern food products, adding nutritional value and variety. - **Gluten-free Products:** RollinGreens' gluten-free tots cater to the increasing demand for gluten-free options, providing a tasty and nutritious alternative to traditional tater tots. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can explore incorporating ancient grains and nutrient-rich ingredients to meet the demand for healthier, gluten-free snack options. - **Alternative Snacks:** The alternative snacks industry can find opportunities to innovate by using ancient grains like millet to create healthier, gluten-free alternatives to traditional snacks. - **Health and Wellness:** The health and wellness industry can take advantage of the growing demand for nutrient-rich snacks by offering products that incorporate ancient grains and provide gluten-free options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ancient Grain Baby Cereals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-oatmeal-baby-cereal.md) - [Ancient Grain Grits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gruff-ancient-grain-grits.md) - [Ancient Grain Oats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gluten-free-organic-rolled-oats.md) - [Convenient Grain-Based Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seeds-of-change-2.md) - [Sustainable Sorghum Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sorghum-snacks.md) - [Crispy Potato Tot Croutons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crispy-croutots.md) - [Ancient Grain Tea Biscuits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ancient-grain-tea-biscuits.md) - [Breaded Chicken Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perdue-chicken-plus-chicken-tots.md) - [Crispy Super-Grain Cereals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-crispies-by-seven-sundays.md)
