Developed by chefs in ConAgra's kitchen, the four new recipes,

trends.

roasted corn, red bell peppers and scallions with organic whole

Healthy Choice Simply Café Steamers meals, including the new
organic-ingredient options, are prepared to maximize flavor the
healthy way, using techniques that enhance food's natural flavors.
The meals feature a special steaming basket that unlocks flavor and
freshness and are 100 percent natural – made with nothing
artificial. The four new dishes are also made using all Non-GMO
ingredients.
"The transformative process of steam creates a lightness and
energy in every Healthy Choice Café Steamers meal," said Brooks.
"Cooking with steam transforms simple ingredients into vibrant and
crisp vegetables, juicy proteins and perfectly cooked grains for a
delicious, fresh taste."
The new meals will begin rolling out this spring and reach full
national distribution by July. Pricing will be consistent with
other Healthy Choice Simply Café Steamers recipes (MSRP
$3.29) – so Healthy Choice eaters
won't have to pay premium prices to enjoy eating organic
ingredients.
