The Value of Ready Meals Explained
Take the Hassle Out Of Cooking
The first and foremost benefit to buying a pre-made frozen ready meal is the convenience of not having to purchase and prepare your own ingredients – saving you time and money, meaning it can be one of the best value for money food options.
There is no need to have a fridge full of ingredients, or invest in particular herbs and cooking tools for particular tasks – unlike when preparing and
cooking for yourself from scratch. There is also a lot less washing up involved, as each meal is packaged ready to pop straight into the oven or microwave to be warmed then plated up at your own convenience.
There is no need to plan ahead either, as you do not need to worry about thawing out Wiltshire Farm Foods frozen ready meals. No matter how many ingredients are used to create your frozen ready meal, the simplicity of heating a frozen ready meal in a microwave or oven really does take the hassle out of cooking.
Nutritious and Transparent
A packaged frozen ready meal by Wiltshire Farm Foods is also clearly labelled to communicate the full ingredients of the dish as well as the salt, sugar and fat contents. This allows you to understand the nutritional information of our frozen ready meals, which we are proud to say are cooked by our team of chefs in conjunction with our dietitian.
A frozen ready meal is a much easier way to control the amounts of salts, sugars or fats you are consuming and are a great way to avoid unhealthy takeaway options too, as our ready meals are a quick and convenient meal straight from the freezer.
Food labelling is also very important for various appetites and dietary preferences. If you have allergies or particular dietary needs, Wiltshire Farm Foods cater for
a range of dietary requirements, making it safe for all of our customers to eat a delicious meal. Our clear labelling is used on our extensive specialist range of ready meals, including:
- Vegetarian
- Free From
- Mini Meals Extra
- Nutritious & Delicious
Whether you are looking for a nutritious mini option, a Free From ready meal, or a vegetarian dish that hits the spot, we label all of our range correctly and accordingly. Look out for the
diet codes and icons when browsing our menu and feel confident we know our stuff when it comes to nutrition. We even offer additional side dishes of extra freshly frozen vegetables if you want to add some extra vitamins.
A lot of people ask 'Does food lose nutritional value when frozen?' - the answer is no, all of the nutrients and vitamins in a frozen meal are locked in on freezing so you can enjoy them knowing they contain the same goodness as a fresh ready meal. There's even some evidence that frozen fruit and vegetable can retain their nutritional content better than fresh produce as there is slower nutrient loss over time.
