lil’gourmets, announced a partnership with the fresh food innovation in Target’s newly-created Fresh Kids Snacking Destination. Target shoppers will now have access to lil’gourmets veggie meals in the chilled Produce aisle of select Target stores across seven Midwest states, as well as Target.com.
 
As the creators of the first and only fresh, organic veggie meal, lil’gourmets’ is excited to offer more parents an easy way to introduce their lil’ones to global flavors like Moroccan Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Curry. Their recipes feature veggies and beans combined with nourishing ingredients like coconut milk and extra virgin olive oil paired with chef-crafted spice blends to create uniquely delicious, ‘closest to homemade’ meals.
 
Founded by two former Kraft Food executives and first-time moms, lil’gourmets was created to cultivate curiosity in lil’ones by exposing them to veggie-focused, global cuisines at a young age to help them fall in love with vegetables and flavorful, culturally-rich foods for life.
 
Target Fresh Kids Snacking destination offers health and convenience for busy parents

Responding to the demand from parents for a greater variety of vegetables and flavors, the lil’gourmets assortment now represents 6 authentic global cuisines: Cinnamon Beets & Apples (US), Coconut Cauliflower Mash (Australia), Moroccan Butternut Squash (Morocco), Pumpkin Navy Bean Shawarma (Middle East), Spanish Corn & Bean Gazpacho (Spain) and Sweet Potato Curry (India).    
 
lil’gourmets’ veggie meals retail for $3.49 and will be available in select Target stores across Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, North Dakota, Wisconsin and at Target.com.
