TastyBite Products Review

Recently, we have received several samples from TastyBite, a company offering a variety of Indian-inspired products, including entrées, sauces, rices and meal inspirations. These products are very convenient as they require no cooking, have no preservatives, and require no refrigeration. After heating for a minute or two in a microwave, the meals are ready to eat, making them very convenient for busy weeknight dinners.

Basmati Rice



5 Star Foodie Junior: The rice was firm and nice, not mushy. This was my favorite part of the meal.

Jaipur Vegetables



Garden vegetables and cubes of paneer cheese simmered with spices, cashew nuts and raisins.

5 Star Foodie Junior: Jaipur Vegetables were flavorful with a good combination of spices and vegetables. It was a little bit spicy but not salty enough. I liked the sauce.
