What are Bio Support Ingredient Sets – "Visible Meal Kits"?

Bio Support ingredient sets exclusively use domestic vegetables where even the producers are identifiable, and processed foods are made with reliable ingredients whose origins are transparent. These are "showcase" meal kits that allow anyone, from children to the elderly, to easily prepare authentic dishes with peace of mind, using assured ingredients – truly "visible" meal kits.

They include pre-cut vegetables, meat, and seasonings, minimizing waste. Following the recipe, combining the ingredients, and simmering or stir-frying takes just 10 to 15 minutes to create a main dish for two to three people. The kits are rich in vegetables, carefully consider nutritional balance, and are safe and secure thanks to the use of domestic ingredients and the absence of chemical seasonings.


■ 'Vegetable-Forward Gyoza Hot Pot' Added to the Lineup
The newly added item is the hot pot menu, 'Vegetable-Forward Gyoza Hot Pot.' This meal kit includes five types of domestic vegetables, gyoza made with Hirata Farm pork, and soup. Anyone with a pot at home can easily prepare it, making it perfect for busy individuals. It provides plenty of vegetables and meat, and the ginger in the gyoza further warms the body, making it a recommended dish for the coming cold season.


■ Not Just "Visible," but Also Adaptable for "Showcasing"
This year's hot pot trend can be described as "movie-genic hot pot." The 'Vegetable-Forward Gyoza Hot Pot' allows you to enjoy the visual and textural transformation as the gyoza dissolves into the soup. Furthermore, it can be customized with toppings like cheese or artistic arrangements using grated daikon radish.

Additionally, regarding the 'Vegetable-Forward Gyoza Hot Pot,' Sakiko Kunii of Seikatsu Club's "Healthy Food" Promotion Department recommends this hot pot for the season, as it is rich in vegetables and meat and offers a balanced meal in one serving.
However, hot pot dishes often contain high levels of salt due to the broth. In such cases, apples are recommended because their abundant potassium helps the body excrete excess salt.

Why not add the "Vegetable-Forward Gyoza Hot Pot," which can be prepared quickly, to your usual menu for a comforting meal?
