Seasonal Trends in Bulk Snacks | What’s Popular Right Now?
Published - 9th Jul 2025
At Sunburst Snacks, we’re always watching what’s trending across the UK, from offices keeping staff happy, to retailers looking for the next big seller, to cafés coming up with tasty new menu items, so here’s a look at what’s popular right now in bulk nuts, dried fruit and healthy snacks.
Summer Surge | Light & Fruity Mixes
When the weather warms up, people want lighter, fresher flavours, right now, we’re seeing huge demand for tropical dried fruits like mango, pineapple, and papaya. These bright, juicy snacks are perfect in snack mixes, granolas, or
simply on their own.
Berries are also very popular right now. Dried blueberries, cranberries, and strawberries are popular for adding colour and sweet flavour to baking, trail mixes, or breakfast bowls.
Coconut chips are another summer favourite, offering a light crunch and tropical taste, retailers and hospitality businesses love these because they’re versatile and eye-catching for customers.
Healthy Office Snacks
Businesses are investing in healthier workplaces, and that includes what’s in the snack cupboard, healthy bulk snacks remain a huge trend for offices that want to keep staff energised and satisfied in the work place.
Popular choices right now include raw nut mixes like almonds, cashews, and walnuts, which are packed with protein and good fats, seed blends are another favourite, because they are full of fibre and nutrients.
Offices love bulk buying because it saves money and makes it easy to set up snack stations that help employees stay focused and happy.
The Rise of High Protein Snacks
Health and fitness trends are another reason why the demand for high-protein snacks continue to grow. We’re seeing more gyms, sports clubs, and fitness studios ordering bulk options like roasted chickpeas, crunchy broad beans, and high-protein nut mixes.
This is because these snacks are perfect for post-workout refueling or as healthy retail items in gym cafés or vending machines, bulk buying makes it affordable for businesses to keep stock flowing for their health-focused customers.
Sustainable Snacking Gains Momentum
More businesses and consumers want to shop sustainably, and bulk snacks fit right in, because buying in bulk helps reduce packaging waste and carbon footprint, which is a big win for eco-conscious brands and consumers.
Retailers are especially interested in zero-waste bulk snacks suitable for refill stations, others want snacks in recyclable or compostable packaging to help meet sustainability goals.
At Sunburst Snacks, we’re committed to sourcing responsibly and offering packaging options that support greener business practices.
Planning Ahead for Autumn and Winter
While it’s summer now, many retailers and businesses are already planning their bulk snack orders for autumn and winter. Seasonal favourites include spiced nuts featuring cinnamon, nutmeg, or chilli, perfect for cosy, warming flavours.
Dried figs, dates, and raisins become popular for festive baking and gift hampers as the colder months approach. Meanwhile, premium mixed nuts are always in demand for holiday gift baskets and party snacks.
Planning ahead ensures businesses can secure stock for the busy festive season without last minute stress.
