egora Catering-Lexikon

Food boxes are packages of pre-processed foods or meals that offer a convenient way to organise meals quickly and efficiently. They belong to the convenience food category and are designed for both individuals and groups, and can cover several meals.

Types of food boxes

There are various categories of food boxes:

  • Ingredient boxes: deliver fresh, portioned ingredients together with detailed recipes
  • Cooking boxes: contain components for dishes that have to be prepared yourself
  • Ready-meal boxes: offer pre-prepared meals to heat up
  • Meal boxes: for all times of day, including snacks
  • Organic boxes: focus on regional, organically grown fruit and vegetables

Delivery is carried out by specialised providers or conventional shipping services.

Benefits of use

Food boxes offer considerable time savings, as menu planning and shopping are eliminated. Pre-portioned meals make a healthy, balanced diet easier and support special diets through tailor-made boxes. Many boxes avoid artificial additives and flavour enhancers and promote sustainability through frequently biodegradable packaging. They also offer transparency regarding ingredients and nutritional values, as well as the opportunity to learn new culinary techniques and try out creative recipes.
