Created in partnership with world-famous chef Giada De Laurentiis, the popcorns come in three flavor options including 'Butter,' 'Parmesan Cheese' and 'Sea Salt & Olive Oil.' Each one is crafted with [non-GMO blue and/or red corn](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crunch-corn), which contains a 30% higher protein level when compared to white and yellow corns. This will make the popcorns ideal for staving off hunger throughout the day or when enjoying it as a snack at home. The Simply 7 Snacks popcorn was explained by De Laurentiis when she said, "I am beyond excited to collaborate with a brand that is so dedicated to creating products that use [clean ingredients to deliver real flavor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popcornaa)." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Healthy Snacking:** There is a growing trend for healthy snack options that use clean ingredients to deliver real flavor. - **Celebrity Chef Partnerships:** Collaborating with well-known chefs like Giada De Laurentiis to create new snack products is a trend that can lead to increased brand recognition and sales. - **Non-gmo Ingredients:** Using non-GMO blue and/or red corn in snack products like popcorn can appeal to health-conscious consumers who are looking for high-protein options. ### Where This Applies - **Snack Food Industry:** Incorporating healthy, clean ingredients in snack products like popcorn can disrupt the industry and appeal to a growing market of health-conscious consumers. - **Celebrity Chef Industry:** Partnering with food industry professionals to create new food products is a trend that can disrupt the industry and drive sales for both parties involved. - **Organic Food Industry:** Using non-GMO ingredients in snack products like popcorn can disrupt the organic food industry and appeal to consumers who are looking for natural and healthy options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Savory Prepackaged Popcorns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-proper-snacks-propercorn.md) - [Premium Healthy Popcorn](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popcornopolis1.md) - [Nostalgic Ready-to-Eat Popcorn Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-secret-readytoeat-popcorn.md) - [Collaborative Olive Oil Popcorns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/extra-virgin-olive-oil-sea-salt-popcorn.md) - [Artisanal Popcorn Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pops-praiseworthy-popcorn.md) - [DIY Snacking Popcorns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourmet-popping-kernels.md) - [Meal-Inspired Popcorn Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popcorn-line.md) - [Protein-Packed Popcorn Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whoa-momma.md) - [Flavorful Influencer Popcorns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whole-grain-kernel-popcorn.md)
