Japanese convenience store chain FamilyMart has announced the introduction of the Blue Green meal range that aims to satisfy increasing demand for plant-based fare. The meal range includes the Keema Curry, Bibimbap-Style Rice Ball, Financier and the Mont Blanc, which are each crafted with meat and dairy-free recipes, depending on the variety. The products respond to the burgeoning plant-based market in Japan, which is expected to grow significantly in the years ahead.
