The Future of Meal Prep: Ready-to-Eat Curries Taking the Lead

 

Ready-to-eat curries have redefined meal prep by combining convenience, flavour, and health in our time-starved lives. As our schedules grow busier, the demand for quick, nutritious meals escalates, making ready-to-eat curries the foremost solution. In this blog, we are going to have a brief overview of how RTE is the future of meal prep.  

1. Reasons for popularity:
   
   Easy-to-prepare snacking and ready-made meals have found extreme popularity, especially among people living in hostels, teenage children, working-class people, and bachelors due to their hectic lifestyles. The demand for RTE is also increasing due to its ease of consumption and convenient disposable packaging. 
   
   
2. The future of meal prep:
   
   RTE food was first introduced in India in the form of instant noodles, soups and frozen snacks. After the pandemic, the segment has diversified into a whole range of RTE meals customised for the Indian populace, from palak paneer to idli sambar. Today, the ready-to-eat food market is estimated at USD 402.90 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 512.74 billion by 2029. This boost is driven primarily by working-class people and with the largest workforce, India is set to take the lead in this segment too. 
   
   
3. Finding new avenues:
   
   The main complaint RTE faced for many years was that it did not provide much nutrition and only catered to taste and ease of making. Contrary to this misconception that convenience compromises nutritional value, today's ready-to-eat curries maintain a balance between taste and health. Many manufacturers have started prioritising using fresh, wholesome ingredients and avoiding excessive preservatives or additives. This commitment to nutritional excellence now appeals to even health-conscious consumers who seek convenient options without compromising their well-being.

In conclusion, ready-to-eat curries have changed the instant food market by emerging as a distinctly new culinary trend. While being convenient and nutritious, they are also projected to dominate a large portion of the fast food market in the coming years. Thus, it can be conveniently said that the future of meal prep is ready-to-eat curries and foods.
