Israeli startup Anina is looking to disrupt the ready meal market by creating meal capsules from unwanted vegetables. The company, a member of the Upcycled Foods Association, sources aesthetically unappealing but fresh vegetables discarded by retailers. These vegetables are then layered and coated to create a capsule that cooks in the microwave in eight minutes. The companys co-founder and CEO, Anat Natan, said the capsules meet consumers needs for taste, health, convenience, and speed. Anina is also planning to create healthy snack bars using dressed fruits, with a launch planned for next year.
