Boulder, Colorado-based EVOL Foods has debuted four additional ethnic recipes within its single-serve frozen entree line: Shawarma Style Chicken, Ginger Soy Udon Noodles, Hawaiian Style Grilled Chicken and Korean BBQ Style Chicken.
Described as “a natural evolution for the brand as it continues to push the boundaries of the frozen food category exploring different flavor profiles,” the new products will be available at retail stores throughout the USA in May.
“Everyone has their favorite Korean BBQ or Shawarma spot, but finding those flavors conveniently in the freezer aisle can be difficult to impossible – especially meals that are made with real ingredients,” said Sebastian Nava, research chef. “We’re excited about our new single-serve entrees because they bring the convenience of frozen meals and simple ingredients to four diverse ethnic cuisines that are unique within the category.”
The brief description of the products, each of which has a suggested retail price of $3.99, follows:
- Hawaiian Style Grilled Chicken: Sweet pineapple teriyaki sauce on grilled chicken with pieces of pineapple, red bell peppers, edamame and water chestnuts on a bed of white rice – 320 calories
- Ginger Soy Udon Noodles: Udon noodles with carrots, edamame, red bell peppers and snap peas in a savory sesame ginger sauce – 310 calories
- Korean BBQ Style Chicken: Korean BBQ-inspired savory Asian sauce on top of grilled chicken with broccoli, snap peas, bell peppers and carrots on a bed of brown rice – 300 calories
- Shawarma Style Chicken: This Middle Eastern favorite features grilled chicken, green and red bell peppers and red onions covered in a tangy yellow turmeric sauce on a bed of couscous – 300 calories
In addition to entrees, other frozen items produced by EVOL Foods include burritos and breakfast sandwiches. Boulder Brands, which acquired EVOL in December of 2013 and subsequently became a unit of Parsippany, New Jersey-headquartered Pinnacle Foods, offers a portfolio of health and wellness-oriented products under brands including Glutino, Udi’s Gluten Free, Earth Balance and Gardein.
