Earthbound Farm, San Juan Bautista, Calif., launched several new certified-organic, ready-to-eat products, including new organic salad kits—Kale Caesar, Sun-Washed Mediterranean and Garden Party—and an organic Kale Caesar PowerMeal Bowl.
"Quick, convenient and simple meals should not be boring. Food boredom can lead to overeating or wanting a treat after the meal," says Ashley Koff, registered dietitian for Earthbound Farm. "The new Earthbound Farm organic salad kits are anything but boring; they are a perfect marriage of convenient, delicious and nutritious, the three things I look for in meals and snacks. Their new organic Kale Caesar PowerMeal Bowl is packed with a variety of important nutrients from plants that anyone can quickly assemble for a tasty main meal. It's perfect for a lunch on the go, an outdoor adventure or a picnic."
