The Pagel is a New York-style bagel that is [gluten-free](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildgrain), paleo and vegan, thanks to its cassava flour base. Cassava, also known as yuca or Brazilian arrowroot, is a root vegetable that's high in resistant starch, which is known for its prebiotic and anti-inflammatory health benefits. The unique new product from Bedrock Bakers was devised by CEO and founder Steven Friedman after he and his family made the switch to a paleo lifestyle to combat chronic health issues. Bedrock Bakers offers a range of different Pagels, including 'Plain Pagels,' 'Everything Pagels,' 'Sesame Pagels' and 'Cinnamon Raisin Pagels' that put a free-from twist on [popular bagel styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-protein-bagels). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 51% | 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Hybrid Bakery Products:** The creation of hybrid bakery products like 'The Pagel' presents an opportunity for innovation in the bakery industry. - **Gluten-free and Paleo Options:** The demand for gluten-free and paleo-friendly food options opens up opportunities for businesses to create innovative products that cater to specific dietary needs. - **Health-conscious Food Alternatives:** The rise of health-conscious consumers creates a potential market for businesses to develop alternative food products with prebiotic and anti-inflammatory health benefits. ### Where This Applies - **Bakery:** The bakery industry can leverage the trend of hybrid bakery products to offer unique and innovative baked goods. - **Food Manufacturing:** The food manufacturing industry can capitalize on the demand for gluten-free and paleo options by producing specialized products and ingredients. - **Health Food Retail:** The health food retail industry has the opportunity to cater to health-conscious consumers by providing a variety of alternative food products with specific health benefits. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Health-Focused Low-Carb Bagels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lowcarb-bagels.md) - [Gluten-Free Pizza Bagels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-pizza-bagels.md) - [Protein-Packed Pumpkin Bagels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-spice-better-bagel.md) - [Frozen Par-Baked Bagels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/par-baked-frozen-bagels.md) - [Health-Conscious Gluten-Free Bagels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/promise-gluten-free.md) - [Protein-Packed Bagel Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protein-bagels.md) - [Seasoned High-Protein Bagels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hero-bread-everything-bagels.md) - [Low-Carb Bagel Alternatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/647-plain-bagels.md) - [Bagel-Flavored Whole Grain Wraps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprouted-whole-grain-everything-wraps.md)
