Side Delights potato dishes are driving traffic to retail stores, according to Fresh Solutions Network LLC, supplier to the brand.

Side Delights cites Nielsen research about consumers who increasingly seek value-added convenience items, and a 2018 Date Check Pro study on millennials’ preference for in-store shopping over online when it comes to fresh produce, according to a news release.

Those products include:

  • Steamables;
  • Grillables;
  • Roastables; and
  • Bakeables.

“Side Delights offers convenient packaging and recipes, but most importantly our products provide ease of preparation and great taste,” Kathleen Triou, president and CEO of Fresh Solutions Network, said in the release.”
