Who is Glory Foods?

Seasoned Cooking Bases greatly reduce the amount of time needed to prepare nutritious and delicious meals.

What is Sensibly Seasoned™?
Sensibly Seasoned™ is Glory Foods line of lower sodium, low-fat, meatless side dishes that taste great. Sensibly Seasoned™ side dishes boast all of the flavorful seasoning that consumers expect from Glory Foods, while offering healthy benefits.

What areas/niche does Sensibly Seasoned fill?
While Glory previously filled the need for ready-to-serve, Southern-style foods – homemade dishes that were seasoned, cleaned and cooked – Sensibly Seasoned™ is the first product of its kind to be offered with a healthier, lower sodium, low-fat, meatless content that still maintains its homemade taste. For the first time consumers now have a choice.

How did Glory Foods determine the need for Sensibly Seasoned™?
The average American consumes approximately 6 to 18 grams of salt daily (1-3 teaspoons), while the average human actually only requires approximately 0.5 grams of salt daily. At least 46% of Americans report that they are trying to pay attention to reducing the amount of salt in their diets. The Food Marketing Institute found that 48% of consumers purchased products promoted as “low fat/low sodium” within the last 30 days. These facts led Glory to develop a product to address consumer needs.
