Helping you spend less time in the kitchen

I set up Virtuelicious to reduce food waste. I was fed up of buying large amounts of spices and other ingredients that would lie unused in my cupboards for years before being thrown away.

So I offer portion sized kits to eliminate food waste. That’s why I also stick to non-perishable dry goods so that it is less likely to go bad before it gets used and there is no need for added preservatives. You can eat them when you want…as one customer said, “It’s better than a Pot Noodle!”

I keep the carbon footprint down by not adding oil and water which would increase the volume and weight of my meal kits and therefore unnecessarily increase fuel consumption in transportation and packaging. It also means there is no rush to use them before they go off so you can keep my meal kits in the cupboard until you want to use them

I use as little packaging as possible.

• The bags are composable made from wood pulp
• I don’t brand the postal boxes because I want to keep them as easy to recycle as possible and I don’t want to create any more waste
• the labels in the kits are printed double sided and as small as possible and I create as many labels from one piece of paper as possible. 
• I don’t use staples or glue for the labels to reduce waste
• Detailed instructions on how to make my kits are online so as to reduce the amount of paper I send out.

• I’ll send you the base flavours and you add the fresh ingredients according to your diet, budget and lifestyle
• I only use ingredients found in a well stocked kitchen
• no oil so you are in control of the fat content
