At Expo East, Wildscape is sharing a variety of nourishing whole food meals that take inspiration from global cuisines, such as one vibrant mushroom meal dubbed 'Peri Peri Portobellos.' This nourishing and extremely convenient meal boasts a base of farro and black beans, plus mango, sweet potatoes, peppers, toasted coconut and roasted mushrooms, all in a spicy pepper sauce.
This frozen product is designed to be quickly prepared in the microwave oven in a matter of minutes once the shrink wrap and lid on the container have been removed.
While this meal from Wildscape is a spicy and vegetarian-friendly option, the brand also offers a range of other globally inspired choices like Gochujang Cauliflower, Bourbon Braised Pork and Chimichurri Chicken.
