For an entire generation of travel lovers, not being able to check off destinations from their bucket lists also robbed them of experiencing the local cultures &amp; cuisines of the aforementioned destinations. Snacks, which are often known to take inspiration from global street foods then became a vehicle of exotic flavours and experimentation. Closure of caf\u00e9s and restaurants and the need to fill a void of new food experiences further boosted the purchases stemming from wanderlust.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Logistically and financially, fresh foods became harder to obtain making room for food with longer shelf life and greater affordability. <strong>However, boosting immunity was one of the top agendas of consumers, they wanted snacks that could make up for the nutrient lack induced by the absence of fresh foods.<\/strong> This is where healthy snacks plugged in. Additionally, to stay fit and evade any risk of COVID, healthier snacks allowed weight management to compensate for the fall in physical activity or due to inaccessibility to the outdoors. Towards the end of 2019 and during 2020, a lot of products centred around the gut health such as probiotic chips and fermented snacks also cropped up around the world. The focus on functionality drove innovation in snacking with a hope to reap more from less.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Snacks are invariably associated to comfort but during the pandemic, they also became a refuge from the uncertainties created by the virus.
