Meatless Farm in The Netherlands recently debuted a new frozen concept by the name of Fresh on Wheels and these heat-and-eat plant-based meals take inspiration from vibrant food truck recipes from around the world.
The meatless meals inspired by food tricks are cooked, then flash-frozen to preserve the utmost flavor and nutrition. The meals can be found in unique varieties, without animal products or additives, such as Brutal Tacos with meatless mince, black beans, tomato salsa, whole-grain rice and sweetcorn. The brand also offers ramen noodles, curries and tikka masala that follow the same flash-frozen format for convenience at home or on the go.
At Anuga, the leading food fair in Cologne, Germany, Frozen on Wheels was recognized as a taste innovation winner.
