In the United States, the main obstacle is the “ick factor.” Jellyfish is frequently characterized as “slimy and tasteless.” However, a combination of trends—including a rising demand for healthier snacks, an increasingly globalized and sophisticated food market, and environmentally conscious consumers—works in favor of jellyfish as a snack option. Jellyfish is rich in vitamin B12, magnesium, and iron, and is low in calories, making jellyfish chips an excellent alternative to potato chips. The individual snacking market reached $33 billion in 2017, with health-focused products seeing the most significant increase in sales. Additionally, Pew Research indicates that the Asian population in the U.S. grew by 72% from 2000 to 2015 (from 11.9 million to 20.4 million), marking the fastest growth rate among major racial or ethnic groups. This increasing demographic influence is promising for the introduction of Asian foods into the domestic market. Moreover, promoting jellyfish into mainstream consumption could benefit the environment, largely due to its oversupply. Jellyfish blooms threaten fish populations, which poses challenges for seafood companies. Incorporating jellyfish, particularly in forms like jellyfish chips, could align with health trends similar to those seen with products like Citracal D3, which emphasize nutritional benefits. Embracing jellyfish as a snack could not only satisfy health-conscious consumers but also present an innovative solution to environmental issues linked to overfishing.
