As Sam's Harvest Jerky comes in convenient travel-sized packs, it's an ideal lunch snack that can easily be thrown in a bag or stored at one's desk. To create the jerky, the brand utilizes Butler Soy Curls, which contain non-GMO soybeans, oil, unsulphured molasses, vinegar, organic tamari, hydrolyzed corn protein, and a myriad of natural spices. In terms of nutritional content, the jerky has just 110 calories per 28 grams, as well as 1 gram of sugar, and 7 grams of protein. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - 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) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Plant-based Snacks:** The rise of plant-based snacks provides an opportunity for innovative products like Sam's Harvest Jerky - **Convenient Travel-sized Packs:** The demand for on-the-go snacks creates a space for disruptive packaging solutions that are convenient and portable - **Healthy Protein Alternatives:** As consumers seek healthier options, there is room for innovative products like soy-based jerky to provide a nutritious and protein-rich snack ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can explore the potential of plant-based snacks and innovative packaging solutions - **Health and Wellness:** The health and wellness industry can tap into the growing demand for healthy protein alternatives by offering innovative products like soy-based snacks - **Catering and Food Services:** Catering and food service companies can incorporate plant-based snacks like Sam's Harvest Jerky into their offerings to cater to health-conscious customers ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Plant-Based Jerky](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beyond-meat-jerky.md) - [Vegan Mushroom Jerkys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eat-meati-jerky.md) - [Cinnamon Churro Meatless Jerkies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-churro-jerky.md) - [Protein-Packed Jerky Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crunchy-jerky-chips.md) - [Beet Jerky Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beet-jerky.md) - [Jackfruit Jerky Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jackfruit-jerky.md) - [Cricket Jerky Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cricket-jerky.md) - [Asian Plant-Based Jerky](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unlimeat-jerky.md) - [Sweet Potato Jerky Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-potato-jerky.md)
