In recent years, the snack market has increased by 50% among consumers, especially the so-called healthy snack. The trend now is to eat healthy and for this reason brands are developing more products with vegetable ingredients, often combined with fruit.
The accelerated pace of life that society currently leads means that less time is dedicated to enjoy each break during mealtime. In this case, healthy snacks are a very beneficial and nutritious alternative that help us to eat the five daily meals recommended by the WHO (World Health Organization).
Faced with this increase in demand for products to find healthy and easy-to-consume sources of nutrients, the range of healthy snacks has been expanded, especially by enhancing the natural factor.
This type of on-the-go snack should be presented in a utilitarian format that is easy to transport and consume. Often these types of foods contain plant-based proteins in combination with fruits, nuts and vegetables for extra energy. They are continually evolving by experimenting with new ingredients that can improve the health profile and taste.
The magazine "The world of Food Ingredients" has published the following ranking of the growth of the offer we find in the healthy snacks market according to the category they correspond to:
+32% Fruit-based snacks
