<p>Finding time to cook a full meal during the week <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/blog/30-minute-meals"target="_blank">isn’t always easy</a>, but ordering takeout isn’t exactly a healthy alternative. That’s why brands like Tasty Bite, which offers a selection of easy to prepare Indian dishes, are a pantry must-have. Not only are Tasty Bite products made without preservatives, but the primarily vegan line only uses nutrient-rich vegetables and flavorful spices (many of which are grown on the company’s own farm in India) to deliver wholesome recipes you can feel good about. But what’s even more impressive about Tasty Bite is the brand’s desire to manufacture its products as sustainably as possible while ensuring the health and betterment of its own local community. Here’s how Tasty Bite can help you step away from the takeout menu and enjoy a satisfying, healthy meal. </p>
<h2>The History of Tasty Bite</h2>
