NEWPORT BEACH, CA - As dining habits have evolved, Side Delights® has unveiled new opportunities for retailers to promote its new Amazables! line, catering to consumers increasingly focused on healthy at-home dining solutions.

“With continued economic uncertainty, attitudes about eating at home and health are evolving, and consumers are seeking a balance between value, wellness, and convenience,” noted Kathleen Triou, President and Chief Executive Officer. “This shift allows retailers to promote solutions that help consumers source healthy, convenient, and cost-effective meals at home like Side Delights Amazables! which can be a quick snack full of potassium, fiber, and vitamin C, or a starring role in a weeknight dinner for friends and family.”

Data highlighted in a recent Circana research report indicated that 86 percent of eating occasions now occur at home. Over the past year, consumers ate 116 more meals at home than before the pandemic. Snack consumption also surged, with many opting for quick bites over larger meals.

According to a press release, this trend is largely driven by ongoing economic challenges and rising food prices, with dining out estimated to be four times more expensive than eating at home.

Due to rising trends like these, the company is producing delicious, easy meals consumers can make right at home, like Amazables! The new products are oven-crisp-style microwavable potatoes that can be ready in just six minutes. They come with custom gluten-free sauces by Litehouse®: the Loaded Potato sauce and Buffalo Ranch sauce, both designed to enhance the flavor of Russet potatoes and align with popular foodservice trends.

Additionally, other quick-cook options from Side Delights like Bakeables and Steamables can be enjoyed straight from the package or transformed into creative recipes such as roasted russet dipping wedges. Even leftovers can be repurposed into quick steak and potato tacos with poblano chilies.

Exclusively available through Fresh Solutions Network's partners, Side Delights offers a wide range of nutritious and economical products, including bagged and bulk potatoes, potato kits, convenience potatoes, petite potatoes, fresh-cut potatoes, and organic potatoes, ensuring retailers can meet the evolving demands of today’s consumers.
