Ready-to-eat meals are pre-packaged food items that require little to no preparation before consumption. These meals are designed for convenience, making them ideal for busy individuals or families. They can be found in various forms, including frozen dinners, canned foods, and meal kits, and often come in single-serving sizes. These meals typically include a balanced combination of proteins, carbohydrates, and vegetables. Many brands offer a range of options to cater to different dietary preferences, such as vegetarian, gluten-free, or low-calorie. Popular examples of ready-to-eat meals include TV dinners, instant noodles, and meal replacement bars.
