The pandemic has forced people to eat at home, which has given people more reason to order meal kits with prepared ingredients that help them skip grocery stores and restaurants alike—and Amazon meal kits can be quickly and safely delivered to doorsteps. While there are many meal kit services that require members to commit to regular deliveries, Amazon offers a flexible alternative in markets where Amazon Fresh is available.
The chef-designed meals are prepared so that they take less than 30 minutes to make and it's a simple process that's supported by photos and instructions so that at-home chefs feel confident about every step. The comforting meal kits help to save people the effort of hunting for recipes and gathering ingredients.
