Rice brand Tilda is expanding into full meal solutions with the introduction of its new ready-to-heat range, Easy Meals.

The new range features a variety of meal options, including sundried tomato and beans, vegetable paella and chickpea korma, joining the brand's portfolio of easy-to-prepare rice dishes.

Tilda Easy Meals caters to a growing consumer demand for convenient, healthy and flavoursome meals. Ready in two minutes, each 250g pouch provides a source of protein and one of the recommended five daily portions of fruit and vegetables

Anna Beheshti, Tilda’s head of marketing, said: “We are all so busy these days, short on inspiration and always on the lookout for shortcuts to elevate mealtimes. Our Easy Meals range offers up a complete meal providing tasty vegetables and protein in just two minutes, making healthy eating effortless, across any occasion.”

Tilda Easy Meals is available in Sainsbury's stores, with a wider roll out coming in the next few months.
