Packaged foods are foods that may be fully or partially prepared and preserved in containers. With packaged foods, you don’t need to go through the stress of buying a lot of other ingredients to cook the meal from scratch, most times, all you have to do is pour a little water and steam for less than 5 minutes. A good example of packaged food that is very popular in Nigeria is instant noodles. They are designed to be ready for eating after just 3 or 5 mins of cooking. Some other packaged food are ready to eat without the need for re-cooking.

Although Nutritionist advice that we minimize the rate at which we eat packaged food for health purposes, here are some of the benefits of packaged food;

• Easy To Prepare: As I mentioned earlier, most packaged foods are very easy to prepared, and require you to just add water to it and steam; so instead of cooking up your meal from scratch, you can just empty a pack of packaged meal and have a ready to eat meal in less than no time.

• Saves Time: If you are really hungry, cooking up a new meal from scratch will be the last idea on your mind then; a packaged food is live saver when you are extremely hungry, because it gives you an option of a meal to eat in much less than 10 minutes.

• No complex cooking skill is required: You don’t need to have a culinary skill to prepare packaged food since most of them are already prepared and packed with the required ingredients required to make it a tasty meal; so anybody can prepare a packaged food.
