Overview of the RealEats service:
RealEats provides meals that are individually crafted by chefs after you order, then vacuum packed to ensure the integrity and freshness of their ingredients. RealEats meals are never frozen and are free of preservatives and additives with ingredients that are high quality and predominantly organic. RealEats meals require no planning, preparation or cooking. All that is needed is to heat your meals in a pot of boiling water for 6 minutes.
RealEats uses the ‘sous-vide’ style of cooking, that is used by many restaurants. By using this method, your meal is packed with flavor and nutrients, and the meals can also be kept refrigerated for up to 7 days. The plastic pouches they use are BPA-free, plasticizer and phthalate-free and are of food-standard quality.

RealEats is ideal for those who are living a hectic modern life and are time poor but still interested in eating tasty and nutritious meals at home. Most of their meals are low calorie, so they are also an ideal choice for those who are managing their weight.

The menu selection of RealEats
You will find a pleasing amount of variety every week on the RealEats menu. They have a choice of 22 meals per week that includes options for dinner, breakfast and their chef selections. The menu is influenced by many different culinary styles from around the globe. Some examples of menu choices include Kofta Kebab, Pan-Seared Bavette Steak, or Cajun Whitefish. You will find foods that have Mediterranean, Southwestern, and Asian influences and much more!
The Real Eats meals are fully prepared, non-frozen and are ready to eat after 3-6 minutes of heating. All their meals are cooked by the process of ‘Sous-Vide’ which is a French cooking method. This involves putting ingredients in a bag which is then vacuum sealed and cooked to perfection in a water bath.
This particular method of cooking does not require any added fat or preservatives, which is why the meals of RealEats are healthy and low in calories, thus making them a great weight-management option.
The ReatEats taste
At the Meal Kit Comparison, we make sure that we go through an extensive tasting process of all companies that we review so that we can provide immediate and first-hand feedback. We really enjoyed our experience with RealEats and thought that their meals offered a much better alternative to takeout. The meals were super easy to heat and, in most cases, tasted like meals that had been cooked in our very own kitchens!

In summary of our Real Eats Review
We think that the RealEats prepared meal delivery service offers a wonderful option for those of you who wish to eat well at home but have zero time to spend in the kitchen. RealEats meals are chef-prepared and require only 6 minutes or so of heating before they are ready to eat. Although their meals are fully prepared, to us, they felt like freshly home-cooked meals, and we loved the fresh, vibrant, and healthy ingredients used in all their meals.
