NEW ORLEANS — Look out Hamburger Helper and Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. New Orleans’ own Camellia Brand, known for its beans and other pantry staples, has announced the release of its new Camellia dinner mixes, designed to help home cooks create Louisiana-inspired meals with less fuss. The products have started rolling out this week at participating local retailers, including Rouses Markets and Zuppardo’s. They will be available online nationwide soon.
“Authentic Louisiana cuisine is known worldwide for its strong flavors and delicious ingredients,” said Vince Hayward, fourth-generation owner and CEO of L.H. Hayward & Company, Camellia’s Elmwood-based parent company. “But oftentimes, the process of making dishes such as jambalaya or gumbo can be time and labor intensive. We’re excited to bring the flavors of Louisiana to kitchens across the country through our new dinner mixes. Each mix is easy to use, made with quality ingredients, and most importantly saves valuable time in the kitchen without compromising on flavor.”
The new offerings are Creole Red Bean Seasoning Mix, Cajun White Bean Seasoning Mix, Gumbo Cajun Roux Base, Dirty Rice Cajun Seasoning Mix and Jambalaya Cajun Seasoning Mix. The company said all are made with 100% natural ingredients, including spices and vegetables.
