Woolworths has introduced over 60 easy and convenient new products to its shelves this week as more Australians seek fresh and delicious meals to enjoy while staying at home. 

With Google data revealing the number of Aussies searching for meal inspiration in April 2020 increased by over 120% when compared to the same period last year*, the new range of Australian-made products combine chef-inspired recipes with tasty ingredients, packed with veggies, that are easy to prepare.

Woolworths & Veg’ is one of the newest ranges launching five new products to stores this week, each containing at least 20% vegetables to help Australians increase their veggie intake. Favourites from the range include Beef Mince with Carrot, Sauteed Onion, Celery and Tomato and Beef Meatballs with Carrot, Celery, Tomato & Caramelised Red Onion

For those looking for quick meal solutions packed full of freshness, Woolworths has launched six Stir Fry Kits that are ready in under 10 minutes and all served with a portion of veggies. Kit flavours include Teriyaki Beef Strips with Vegetables and Chinese BBQ Pork Char Siu Style with Vegetables.
