Consumers are finding themselves with an ever-growing appetite for adventure when it comes to their food. Yet they also are finding themselves short on the time it takes to forage and build the food—fundamental experiences when cooking at home.
Meeting this demand is the growing availability of prepared simmer sauces, flavored broths, spice packets, and ready-to-heat accompaniments in the supermarket. Answering the call from the other side is a surge in meal kit home-delivery companies, such as Blue Apron Inc., Meez Meals LLC, and Hello Fresh AG.
