Perfectly portioned meal kits using only wonky ingredients that would otherwise be rejected have been launched by online healthy food retailer musclefood.com.
Many supermarkets, restaurants and other food suppliers refuse to take ingredients that are deemed imperfect from suppliers, meaning tonnes of tasty and nutritious meat and vegetables are regularly thrown away, simply for being an unusual size or shape. The new musclefood meal kits use these so-called wonky ingredients in pre-portioned servings that come with quick, simple and easy to follow instructions.
All of the kits are retailing at £4.75, including the Sticky Chilli Sausage and Veg Bake Recipe Kit, which contains low fat pork sausages, a spicy chilli ketchup and vegetables including carrots, courgettes and potatoes – and takes only ten minutes to prepare. Per serving, the sausage and veg bake contains just 464 calories and 6.2g of fat, but a whopping 29g of protein!
