MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- It's no secret
that bone broth has been one of the hottest trends of 2015, and
continues to build steam on the food scene. From New York to
Portland, bone broth bars continue to pop up. And now, with the
introduction of a new premium line of Cooking Stocks from
Progresso, foodies can enjoy sipping, cooking and experimenting
with a high quality bone broth from the comfort of their own
kitchen. Made by simmering real bones, flavorful vegetables and
aromatic herbs, Progresso's new line of premium Cooking Stocks
debuted at Chicago Gourmet, Sept.
26-27.
Chicken bones, vegetables and herbs are gently simmered to
create a rich, layered, meaty flavor. Progresso Chefs brought their
gastronomic knowledge, passion and expertise using a bone simmering
cooking method to give more body to the Cooking Stocks, making them
ideal for adding deep, complex flavor to a variety of dishes
including soups, stews, sauces, and gravies.
"I drew on my classical training as a saucier to help create
this new line of cooking stocks that deliver a homemade taste to
help any cook craft flavorful meals in their own kitchens. I've
prepared delicious new recipes, like a Ramen bowl, a Miso sip and
savory pan sauces, all with this one ingredient as the base," said
Michael Braden, chef and General
Mills culinary manager. "Stocks are such a wonderfully versatile
ingredient, they offer a quick and easy way to bring the flavors of
your home cooking to life."
According to NPD Group's market research team1,
Millennials are looking for quick and convenient home cooking
options while still creating exciting and new experiences in the
kitchen. Progresso's Cooking Stocks offer the benefits of a
high-quality, homemade stock while saving home cooks' time in the
kitchen.
"Millennials are cooking at home more often, and take pride in
the presentation and quality of their dish," said Pinar Tutuncu, new products team lead for
Progresso Soups. "We created Progresso Cooking Stocks to fulfill
that need of creativity and convenience in the kitchen while still
using quality ingredients."
