Daily Harvest's Harvest Bakes introduces a new collection of ready-to-bake meals that make it easier for busy people to get more nourishing plants into their diets. The dishes are based on vegetables, legumes and whole grains, plus they are free from synthetic additives. As Daily Harvest describes, its "food never includes harmful, hyper-processed and ultra-refined junk."
To create this new Harvest Bakes collection of meals, Daily Harvest worked with nutritionists and customers and drew inspiration from favorite globally inspired flavors. There are four pieces that can be found in the collection, and they can be enjoyed as meals or side dishes. There's the Cremini + Smoked Paprika Ropa Vieja; Chickpea + Coconut Curry; Gigante Bean + Artichoke Olio; and Squash + Wild Rice Gratin.
