Americans are strapped for time and are looking for ways to prepare meals quickly:

“According to the index, 80% of Americans surveyed felt as though their days have fewer hours, with 85% of younger generations feeling the same way. The index found 60% of consumers expect these demands to increase in the new year. Moreover, the average American has only 52 total minutes per day to prepare, eat and enjoy their meals, with one-third of consumers saying they have less than 30 minutes to prep and enjoy meals.“
