“Providing convenient, fresh, and flavorful options for consumers is at the heart of what we deliver at Green Giant™Fresh,” said Jamie Strachan, CEO of Green Giant™ Fresh. “We are constantly exploring ways to delight consumers with ways to incorporate vegetables into one’s day. The Veggie Bowl concept is about providing a healthier take on traditionally calorie-heavy regional cuisine, and we are proud of the way we’ve brought to life these satisfying flavors for a smarter grab-and-go meal experience.”
Veggie Bowl Varieties
- The Korean BBQ Bowl captures flavors from the popular Korean grilling method with the company’s first-to-market Cauliflower Crumbles® chopped cauliflower, carrots, celery, onions, broccoli, crispy rice noodles and a sweet heat Bulgogi sauce to drizzle on top.
- The Southwest Tortilla Bowl stirs up homemade comfort food nostalgia, with Cauliflower Crumbles® chopped cauliflower, carrots, onions, seasoned tortilla chips, sharp white cheddar and a kick with a Chipotle Chile sauce.
Each bowl proudly features a bed of perfectly chopped and pre-portioned vegetables that cook in five minutes or less. All Green Giant™ Fresh veggie bowls include simple ingredients that are low in fat, and they are delicious as packaged and when paired with extra protein like chicken, fish, or tofu.
