Food and Nutrition
Anyone can sign up for our meal paths. If you have any medical conditions, please contact a medical professional to make sure this is suitable for your dietary needs. Unfortunately, we cannot cater to clients who suffer from anaphylactic shock to severe allergies.
Our full box option will include everything you need for a full day: breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and drinks. We are unable to customise macros.
Our menu changes based on produce availability to ensure that your meals are always prepared with the freshest and best quality products. We have a rotating menu to ensure you do not get bored and do not suffer from palate fatigue!
Each meal day is carefully designed and approved by our dedicated nutritionist to ensure that your meal day, as a whole, is comprehensive and varied. This is one of the reasons you cannot pick which dishes you want to order.
Our macro split across all paths is as follows:
Protein: 20%
Carbohydrates: 40%
Fats: 40%
Our nutrition philosophy is based on the following core pillars:
- Our dedicated nutritionist approves all our meals.
- We focus on promoting a balanced diet to nurture the body through a diverse offering.
- We do not use any ingredients that contain gluten and dairy.
- We prepare our meals daily to ensure these are fresh with no added preservatives.
- We cut the number of free sugars and use alternative sources such as agave nectar. We have filled our meals with fibre-, nutrient- rich foods and colourful and varied vegetables!
- We promise to keep your tastebuds entertained with international flavours!
- We include up to 4 plant-based days weekly. This helps increase the amount of dietary fibre in your meals and plant diversity.
- Fatty fish is served once weekly.
- Eggs/Crustaceans are each served once weekly.
- Lean meat is served between 2-3 weekly.
- If you would like to see the menu ahead of ordering to make sure that animal protein will be included in your meal day, kindly email us at: info@kurami.co.uk
Our nutritionist has devised and approved all of our meal days and works tirelessly with the Kitchen Team to ensure that all the meals are balanced, varied, and an absolute thrill to your palate! We are unable to customise macros.
Meat
Our selection of meat includes turkey and chicken. We only use the finest organic meat, certified by the Soil Association. We proudly source the finest quality of grass-fed, free-range, organic meats.
Fish
Our selection of fish includes the well-loved British, chalk stream trout, salmon and mackerel. Chalk stream trout swim against fast-flow water, making this a very lean cut of fish. Additionally, the spring water in which the fish swim is filtered through chalk downlands into underground aquifers. The Environment Agency rated the water with the highest achievable grade (Class A). This process eliminates the muddy taste often associated with Rainbow Trout. We also include prawns in our meal paths.
Most of our meals are plant-based. This is to encourage plant diversity, increase dietary fibre, and encourage plant diversity.
- We have, on average, four plant-based days weekly.
- Fatty fish is served once weekly.
- Crustaceans are served once weekly.
- Eggs are served at least once weekly, in either a main or breakfast option.
- Lean meat is served between 2-3 weekly.
If you want to see the menu ahead of ordering to ensure that animal protein will be included in the meal days you are ordering, kindly email us at: info@kurami.co.uk.
