The products are only available through Amazon, although General Mills told just-food it intends to roll out the products into mainstream retailers.
The company has teamed up with US author Jessica Seinfeld for the launch. Seinfeld mentions “homemade vegetable purees” in her book Deceptively Delicious.
According to the US Department of Agriculture, vegetables should make up around 30% of each meal. The 2013 Centers for Disease Control State Indicator Report on Fruits and Vegetables showed adults in the US are serving themselves vegetables only 1.6 times per day.
