"It wasn't really until 2007 when we fully started developing the meal boxes for our customers where we provided the exact portions of all of the ingredients and recipes for 2,3 or 4 days worth of meals for specific family sizes. We were the first in Denmark to offer this service and everything we send is 100% organic." shared Mette Andersen from Aarstiderne.
Since its inception, the customer has developed a range of around 10 different boxes, depending on what that particular customer requires. There are some focused around lifestyle, like the low-carb box, but they are also designed to fit different family types. We have boxes for families with young children, but also boxes to fit customers who would like more exotic meals.
"There are a lot of different opportunities for the boxes and the plan is very flexible, with virtually no commitment. You can choose to have it every week, every other week, switch to a new type of box from one week to the other, all of these changes can be made up to the night before." said Andersen.
Today the company delivers to around 55,000+ households in Denmark and 5,000 in Sweden. Everything is packed the day before and delivered the next day, to the door. In addition to the meal boxes, the company continues to offer their original fruit and vegetable boxes, as an addition to the meal plan.
On the back of the recent boost in popularity for veganism, a fully vegan box was launched this week. On the menu this week, for those trying the boxes for the first time, is:
- Caponata with pasta , olives, eggplant , parsley and pumpkin seeds
- Banh mi with toasted chickpea-" tofu" sweet chili and vegetables
- Black hummus with olives and tabouleh
- Potato and celeriac purée with roasted peas and onion with salsa
