Grand Rapids, MI – Crisp produce and fresh noodles in a delightfully savory, authentic Japanese broth in just 3 minutes – this is NOT your college ramen. Fresh Ramen is Pearson Food’s newest fresh food product line. Fresh Ramen takes aim at the dry, center-of-the-aisle instant ramen, and gives new life to the busy American classic.
Japan’s instant noodle soup was introduced to the U.S. in the early 70’s. Known as a working class meal, from its debut, instant ramen was dehydrated, and made famous for its convenience and need for only boiling water. It wasn’t until recently that consumer America has been able to fully embrace Chinese Soba or Japanese Ramen in restaurants, which traditionally uses fresh ingredients.
Fresh Ramen is a heat-and-eat, 3 minute meal solution with fresh cut Napa cabbage, red cabbage, green onion, and carrot. Each broth and vegetable blend is paired with and complemented by an authentic value-added topping of pickled ginger, seaweed, or mushroom. Fresh Ramen offers 5 flavors that capture traditional ramen styles; in Tonkotsu Pork, Spicy Sesame, Ginger Beef, Miso, and Tokyo Chicken.
Ruta Pearson, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Pearson Food Corporation says “the project came out of the growing trend for consumers seeking more grab-and-go meal replacement, heat-and-eat options, and also from the consumers’ perspective that they’re looking for more flavorful and unique options for meal replacement as well as ethnic options.”
Pearson’s Fresh Ramen delivers on its commitment to using only fresh ingredients. Fresh Ramen offers the best of both worlds in Ramen trends, with its freshness and flavorful ingredients joined-with the convenience of instant meals. Fresh Ramen is available at Meijer and Jewel-Osco locations across the Mid-West.
