The Knorr Vegan Stock Pot range is being added to the Unilever-owned brand's product offering that will enable consumers to create their own meals from home that are bursting with premium flavor. The products are formulated with flexitarians in mind and feature a plant-based recipe that's suitable for vegetarians, vegans and those who are simply looking for an alternative to meat. The products will come in three flavor varieties including Paprika & Sun-dried Tomato, Smoked Chilli & Tomato and Kaffir Lime & Ginger.
Vice President for Foods and Tea at Unilever Hazel Detsiny spoke on the Knorr Vegan Stock Pot range saying, "Cooking from scratch is a huge trend right now, as is the desire to eat less meat. People want ideas and help to make sure the new dishes they are creating taste great. Our vegan stock pots are great for this: they add depth of flavor to vegetarian or vegan dishes and the continued growth in the category clearly reflects this. These new flavor variants, which reflect the way people are cooking and eating, provide easy ways to add punch to scratch-cooked meals.”
