Healthy foods are edible products that provide essential nutrients and are consumed between meals. They typically contain lower calories and fat content and are free from artificial chemicals. Healthy snacks come in various forms, such as dried fruits, meat snacks, cereal bars, nuts, and granola bars. They are typically low in calories and sodium and are sought after by individuals looking to reduce their overall calorie intake while still acquiring essential nutrients. The market for healthy snacks is driven by the rise in the obese population and the growing awareness of healthy eating habits. Additionally, the increasing disposable income of consumers, particularly in developing regions, has contributed to the rising demand for healthy snacks.
