The versatile packs celebrate the taste of Island classics like jerk and Caribbean curry. With [rice and peas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zatarains-rice-products) as a side, the kits only require consumers to add their own protein and veggies to make a flavorful meal in less than half an hour. While the Spicy Jerk Meal Kit for two contains a microwaveable pouch with the side dish, a jerk paste sachet and a seasoning mix sachet, the [Caribbean Curry kit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tuk-tuk-club) contains the same and is suitable for those who like a medium level of spice. Thanks to the ingredients in these kits and the customizations that are possible, both packs highlight the fact that these meals are suitable for vegans. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 11% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Authentic Meal Kits:** Opportunity for meal kit companies to create authentic meal kits that bring the taste of traditional street foods to consumers' homes. - **Vegan Meal Kits:** There is a growing market for vegan meal kits that have customizable options for consumers with specific dietary needs. - **Quick Meal Kits:** More meal kit companies can create quick meal kits that entice convenience seeking consumers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Meal Kit Industry:** There is a growing need for innovative meal kits that reflect the tastes and preferences of specific demographics. - **Vegan Food Industry:** There is a growing trend for vegan and vegetarian meal options.
