Pearson Foods Corp. has launched Fall Roasters, a full line of fall- and winter-inspired, ready-to-cook meal solutions that pair fresh vegetables, plant proteins and ancient grains with herbs, spices, butter and ethnic sauces. Pearson Fall Roasters meal solutions come pre-packaged in oven-ready aluminum pans for no-prep, no-mess meals in less than 20 minutes.

Growth in healthy eating and the “Heat & Eat” market is being driven by factors including the rise of two-parent working families, a changing workforce, growth of disposable income, and rising demand for convenience products. According to research from the NDP Group, Americans are eating more dinners at home, with more than 80 percent of all meals being prepared in the household.

“Whether you’re on-the-go or in a busy working family, Pearson Fall Roasters offer a fresh, nutritious and tasty vegetable meal solution that takes the hassle and time out of dinner prep,” said Eric Pearson, president of Pearson Foods. “Our Fall Roasters come in nine different varieties making them the perfect pairing for any main course.”
