'Hungryroot' is a new meal-kit startup that provides customers with veggie-centric meals. While there are a wide variety of fresh food subscription services, this startup differs by allowing customers to order the kits anytime.
Hungryroot is a New York-based startup that specializes in providing customers with veggie-centric meals that can be prepared in less than seven minutes time. The focus on plant-based meals makes the service somewhat similar to Mark Bittman's vegan subscription service 'Purple Carrot.' However, Hungryroot differs in that it is not just a subscription service. Instead, customers can order the plant-based meals individually or 50 at a time. The service also differs in that it comes with the option to add meat if the consumer chooses to do so.
