From start to finish, the process of preparing these snacks uses fewer resources than other [common grains like corn](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crunch-corn), and the seeds are puffed by a roasting technique that needs no oil whatsoever. The [light, popcorn-like water lily seeds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cob-snacks) are crunchy, packed with antioxidants, fueled by Ayurvedic properties and gluten-free. Arise N’ Go is introducing its snacks to the world with fun flavors like Chipotle BBQ, Ultimate Spice with hot paprika, onion and garlic powder and a few other additions for a hint of heat, and Simply Seasoned, which lives up to its name by enhancing the flavors with cracked black pepper and Himalayan sea salt. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 9% - 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Sustainable Snacks:** The use of ancient water lily seeds in snack production with techniques that require fewer resources opens the door for sustainability opportunities in snack production. - **Gluten-free Options:** The gluten-free nature of the water lily seed snacks offers an opportunity for innovation in gluten-free food production. - **Ayurvedic Snacks:** Using traditional Ayurvedic properties in snack production may spark interest in Ayurveda-based food and wellness products. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Snack Production:** The use of water lily seeds as an ingredient in snack production may disrupt the traditional snack market and pave the way for the creation of new snack products. - **Health and Wellness:** The Ayurvedic properties of the water lily seed snacks and the gluten-free nature of the product provide opportunities for innovation in the health and wellness industry. - **Sustainable Agriculture:** Hand-harvesting and natural drying techniques used in the production of water lily seed snacks may inspire innovations in sustainable agriculture and farming practices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Plant-Based Puffed Grain Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tosi-superpops.md) - [High-Protein Pea Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origin-nutrition.md) - [Algae-Infused Popcorn Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-zero-popcorn.md) - [Chickpea-Based Crunchy Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chickpea-puff.md) - [Artisanal Popcorn Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pops-praiseworthy-popcorn.md) - [Regenerative Snack Puffs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocho-puffed-snack.md) - [Sustainable Sorghum Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sorghum-snacks.md) - [Baked Lentil Puffs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baked-lentil-puffs.md) - [Nootropic-Infused Popped Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popped-chips.md)
