The protein-packed, vegan and organic crackers set themselves apart from other [healthy crackers on the market](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pep-lekker-savory-biscuits) by featuring a base of legumes. The Organic Lentil with Turmeric and Organic Chickpea products combine a base of legumes with stone-ground white corn and three powerful seeds—chia, flaxseed and sesame—for a super satisfying gluten-free snack. These non-GMO snacks are free from cholesterol and trans fats, joining other health-focused snack crackers previously introduced by the brand in flavors like Kale, Sweet Potato and Sweet Beet. Versatile and nutritious, legumes are a great source of fiber, folate, potassium and iron, which is why many health-conscious consumers are now looking to enrich their diets with everything from [lentil-based pastas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fava-bean-pasta) to [sweet chickpea snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chickpea-protein-toppers). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 62% | 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Legume-based Snacks:** There is an opportunity for companies to explore legume-based snacks that provide a satisfying gluten-free experience. - **Superfood Crackers:** Superfood crackers present an opportunity in the healthy snack market by elevating the nutritional value of conventional crackers. - **Organic Snacks:** Brands that prioritize organic ingredients in their snack products can meet the growing demand for healthier snacking options. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can explore incorporating legumes into their products as a healthier alternative to traditional snacks. - **Natural and Organic Products:** The natural and organic products industry can develop more products that cater to the increasing demand for healthier alternatives to conventional snacks. - **Gluten-free Products:** The gluten-free products industry can incorporate legumes into their products to cater to consumers with gluten intolerances and wheat allergies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Plant-Based Protein Crackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whole-wheat-protein-crackers.md) - [Satiating Plant-Based Snack Crackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenb-cracker-crisps.md) - [Low-Carb Protein-Packed Cracker Breads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heylo-crackerbreads.md) - [Lunchbox-Safe Cheese Crackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cadootz.md) - [Pea-Powered Protein Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/utopea-ah.md) - [Baked Lentil Puffs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baked-lentil-puffs.md) - [Grain-Free Baked Crisps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/savory-crisps.md) - [Flavorful Functional Cracker Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pep-lekker-savory-biscuits.md) - [Hidden Vegetables Snack Crackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pure-organic-baked-crackers.md)
