Vegetarian options are driving the Australia ready meals market growth due to their perceived health benefits
They are often seen as healthier choices, being lower in saturated fats and cholesterol while being rich in fibre, vitamins, and minerals from vegetables, legumes, and grains. Vegetarian-ready meals offer a healthier choice with reduced fats and cholesterol. They are environmentally friendly, suitable for various allergies, come in diverse flavours, support weight management, and address concerns about animal welfare.
Non-vegetarian ready meals provide abundant protein sources, a variety of flavours, and help in feeling full. They offer familiar comfort, and a range of nutrients, and are simple to prepare, making them appeal to busy individuals in search of convenience and culinary diversity.
Mars Food & Nutrition Australia had introduced a new ready-to-heat range within the Ben's Original brand, catering to the growing need for convenient, healthier options. The Ben's Original 10+ Medley microwave series featured Mexican, Mediterranean, and Chinese styles, reflecting diverse eating patterns.
