Upton’s Naturals, an innovator in the plant-based food industry, is introducing a lineup of shelf-stable, vegan meal kits. Made with real, whole-food ingredients, this lineup of Thai-inspired dishes are ready after just one minute in the microwave. Pre-cooked noodles, fresh (never freeze-dried) vegetables, and flavorful spices can be found in the fully cooked and composed Massaman Curry, Pad See Ew, Thai Spaghetti, and Thai Curry Noodle meals. Each provide a convenient and inspiring lunch solution that is 100% vegan, low in calories, and free of trans fat, cholesterol, GMO’s and preservatives.

Upton’s Naturals’ founder, Dan Staackmann said, “The inspiration for our Meal Kits came during our travels to Thailand where we source and manufacture our pre-seasoned, ready-to-eat Jackfruit. We quickly fell in love with Thai cuisine while exploring the country and wanted to make it easy for anyone to enjoy the bold flavors of our favorite local dishes.”

Upton’s Naturals’ convenient, heat-and-serve Meal Kits include:
 
• Pad See Ew: This classic Thai dish features rice noodles, carrots, Chinese kale, and tofu topped with sesame seeds. 
• Massaman Curry: Another Thai staple, this delicious curry recipe is made with potatoes, carrots, green beans, purple rice, and ground peanuts. 
• Thai Spaghetti: Strong green curry and tomato basil sauce make this meal a taste experience to write home about.
• Thai Curry Noodle: An Upton’s take on the traditional Thai recipe Kaho Soi, this noodle dish is made with curry, seitan, winged beans, and crunchy fried onions. 

Upton’s Naturals’ Meal Kits will be available at natural and specialty stores nationwide this summer for$4.99 each. The products are not dehydrated and packaged in a retort pouch to maintain freshness.
