I think it is safe to say that both adults and kids would jump at the chance of gobbling down veggies if they were mixed with deliciously sugared candy treats as extra toppings. How could you say no to that? You'll get the nutrients, vitamins and minerals needed from these healthy green veggies and get an extra kick of sugar at the end of it to make it all the more appealing. Understanding how kids -- and some adults -- feel about their [daily veggie consumption](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/root-foods-vegetable-chips), Santen created her creative veggies photo series 'Sweet Veggies' as a humorous way to soften the blow of getting greens into your meals. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Candy Veggie Hybrids:** Opportunity for food manufacturers to create innovative products that combine the nutrition of vegetables with the sweetness of candies. - **Playful Food Photography:** Potential for photographers and brands to experiment with whimsical food compositions to attract a wider audience. - **Healthy Eating Promotion:** Opportunity for health organizations and nutritionists to use creative approaches to encourage people, especially children, to consume more vegetables. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for companies to develop new food products that appeal to both health-conscious consumers and those with a sweet tooth. - **Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to explore and create playful food compositions for advertising campaigns, social media, and other visual platforms. - **Health and Wellness:** Potential for health organizations and professionals to leverage creative approaches to promote healthy eating and increase vegetable consumption. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Veggie-Infused Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veggies-you-crave.md) - [Veggie-Shaped Gummy Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peas-carrots-sour-gummy-candies.md) - [Cheerful Healthy Snack Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-veggie-snacks.md) - [Veggie-Packed Children's Snack Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegetable-snacks-for-kids.md) - [Hidden Veggie Meal Boosters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-wins.md) - [Kid-Friendly Plant-Based Food Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veggy-kids.md) - [Veggie-Packed Smoothie Pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rabbit-food.md) - [Veggie-First Children's Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lil-gourmets.md) - [Veggie-Infused Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smugglers-ice-cream.md)
