Created to help offer a rising demand for spicy snacks, the chickpea puffs boast an organic recipe that is also gluten-free, vegan and packed with ample amounts of both fiber and protein. This means that the snack will actually help to satisfy hunger rather than being an empty calorie treat to pick up like other varieties on the market. The Hippeas Chilli Haze puffs are flavored with the use of sriracha and garlic to ensure a balanced profile on the palate, and come in single serve or sharing bags to suit different preferences. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Spicy Snacks:** Opportunity to capitalize on the rising demand for spicy snacks by offering innovative and flavorful options. - **Healthy Snacks:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to provide consumers with healthier snack alternatives that are organic, gluten-free, and vegan. - **Fiber and Protein-packed Snacks:** Potential for creating satisfying snacks that are high in fiber and protein to fulfill the growing need for nutritious on-the-go options. ### Who This Affects Most - **Snack Food Industry:** Opportunity for snack food manufacturers to tap into the market of consumers looking for healthier and spicier snack options. - **Organic Food Industry:** Opportunity to innovate within the organic food industry by offering organic snacks that are tasty, spicy, and nutritionally dense. - **Health and Wellness Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to cater to the health-conscious consumer market by providing snacks that are both delicious and nutritious. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bacon-Flavored Chickpea Puffs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baconflavored-chickpea-puffs.md) - [Corn-Flavored Chickepea Puffs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mexican-street-corn-chickpea-puffs.md) - [Cheesy Puffed Pea Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-cheezy-cheddar-pops.md) - [Citrusy Chickpea Snack Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hippeas-sea-salt-lime.md) - [Crispy Gherkin-Flavored Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dill-pickle-puffs.md) - [Chickpea Tortilla Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chickpea-tortilla-chip.md) - [Chickpea-Based Crunchy Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chickpea-puff.md) - [Satiating Plant-Based Snack Straws](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hippeas-veggie-straws.md) - [Latin Cuisine Snack Puffs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goya-chickpea-puffs.md)
