The plant-powered scallops are made without palm oil, GMO ingredients, soy and gluten, and they are easy to prepare and even easier to add to a wide range of meals. This innovative [plant-based seafood product](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-fish-product) comes from an all-women, family-owned company that was recognized at Natural Products Expo West 2022. Named Best New Frozen Product, the Mind Blown Dusted Scallops set a new standard for seafood of the future. The brand also offers Mind Blown Coconut Shrimp and Mind Blown Dusted Shrimp, which also make the most of similar ingredients and boast nearly identical forms to the real seafood products that inspired them. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 39% | 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 - **Plant-based Seafood:** Opportunity for businesses to improve upon traditional seafood products using alternative, plant-based ingredients like konjac powder. - **Gluten-free Products:** Opportunity for businesses to cater to consumers with gluten allergies by developing gluten-free plant-based seafood substitutes. - **Alternative Starches:** Opportunity for businesses to explore the potential of other root vegetable starches in creating plant-based seafood substitutes that mimic traditional seafood texture and flavor. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food Manufacturing:** Plant-based seafood products offer new opportunities for food manufacturers to create innovative and sustainable meat substitutes. - **Natural Products:** Natural Products industry can create offshoots to provide healthier, more sustainable options for seafood consumers. - **Frozen Foods:** Frozen food industry can explore the potential of plant-based seafood products as a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly option for consumers who enjoy seafood but care about the environment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Shelf-Stable Plant-Based Scallops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-based-scallop.md) - [Plant-Based Crispy Fried Shrimps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fried-shrimp.md) - [Plant-Based Crab Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mind-blown.md) - [Alt Seafood Scallops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alt-seafood.md) - [Plant-Based Shrimp Alternatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beleaf-plant-based-shrimp.md) - [Plant-Based Seafood Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boldly-plant-based-seafood.md) - [Groundbreaking Seafood Sub-Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-based-seafood-co.md) - [Plant-Based Squid Appetizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-based-squid.md) - [Plant-Powered Shrimp Dumplings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shrimp-dumplings.md)
