The brand's ZUMO Gazpacho is available in a trio of flavors that introduce flavorful ingredient medleys like tomato, bell pepper, cucumber, extra virgin olive oil, vinegar, garlic and lemon juice. These gluten-free fruit and vegetable juices are not made from concentrate and boast 78 bio-available minerals, many of which cannot be found in ordinary table salt. Seawater describes that some of the benefits of consuming the minerals from seawater include [enhanced cellular hydration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instant-hydration) and nourishment, plus enhanced flavor with a lower sodium content. In all, the salts and minerals that can be found in seawater are said to be similar to those of the human body. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Seawater-based Beverages:** There is an opportunity to explore the use of seawater as a base ingredient for creating a new range of healthy and mineral-rich beverages. - **Mediterranean-sourced Ingredient Food Products:** Incorporating Mediterranean-sourced fruits and vegetables into food offerings is an opportunity to differentiate and offer unique flavor profiles, as well as, highlight the health benefits of consuming ingredients from this region. - **Bio-available Mineral-rich Food and Beverages:** Creating food and beverage products that contain a high amount of bio-available minerals that are essential for nourishment and hydration is an opportunity for health-focused brands. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry has an opportunity to create new products that use seawater and Mediterranean-sourced fruits and vegetables to offer differentiated and health-focused options. - **Health and Wellness:** There is an opportunity for the health and wellness industry to promote the benefits of consuming bio-available minerals, as well as, highlight the benefits of consuming Mediterranean-sourced ingredients. - **Sustainable Agriculture:** The use of seawater in agriculture can be explored as a sustainable farming practice that uses natural resources and may reduce dependence on freshwater, which is becoming increasingly scarce. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nutritious Sea Moss Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sea-moss-drink.md) - [Kelp-Infused Pasta Sauces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fortified-pasta-sauces.md) - [Mineral-Rich Seaweed Teas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seaweed-tea.md) - [Sea Vegetable Pesto Sauces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sea-asparagus-pesto.md) - [Gourmet Tinned Seafood Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/siesta-co.md) - [Marine Plant-Based Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marine-plantbased-beverages.md) - [Seaweed-Infused Kombuchas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seaweed-fermented-beverage.md) - [Seaweed Ramen Broths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seaweed-ramen-broth.md) - [Seaweed-Based Seasonings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oceans-balance.md)
