Features

(1) A retort curry packed with chunky vegetables! Contains 350g of vegetables (raw equivalent) per day (※1). In addition to ingredients like fried eggplant, lotus root, and burdock root, the sauce contains concentrated carrot juice, high-lycopene tomato paste, sautéed onions, dried onions, and celery paste. This allows for the easy intake of 350g of vegetables (raw equivalent) per serving, which is a day's worth.

(2) A curry that not only provides many vegetables but also focuses on "deliciousness." While formulating a day's worth of vegetables into a single serving of curry, the product was developed with a strong commitment to deliciousness that is easy to eat. By combining the aroma of roasted spices, centered on cumin and coriander, which enhance the flavor of vegetables, with the rich umami of bonito dashi, the curry puts vegetables at the forefront while creating an appealing aroma and umami that satisfies the appetite, achieving both deliciousness and health.

Development Story

① Product development embodying House Foods' goal of "Health through Food." House Foods aims to deliver "Health through Food" through spices and curries. This time, focusing on "increasing vegetable intake," a target set by "Health Japan 21" promoted by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, we embarked on developing a retort curry that allows for the intake of 350g of vegetables (raw equivalent) per serving (※1).

② Responding to growing health consciousness and the need for vegetable intake. For those concerned about both deliciousness and health. We encourage those who are concerned about their daily vegetable intake or wish to consume vegetables deliciously through curry to try this product. Given that sales of retort curries featuring vegetables have grown by 138% in fiscal year 2024 compared to fiscal year 2020 (※2), we aimed to create a retort curry that offers both "chunky vegetables" and a "sense of health."
