At Blue Apron, our experts source the best seasonal ingredients directly from farms, importers and family-run purveyors. Get to know more about our recent partners by exploring their profiles and products below.

Only Blue Apron sells heat-and-serve meals. However, HelloFresh has a category that Blue Apron does not: kits labeled "easy prep" and "easy cleanup." These one-pot or sheet-pan-type meals are a little easier than the standard kits, but you'll still have to do a bit of knife work.

Blue Apron meals deliveries contain all the seasonal produce and specialty ingredients you need to create unique, flavorful meals for the week. In each box, we'll send detailed recipe cards with step-by-step instructions to make meals easy and delicious.

Meal kit business Blue Apron announced Friday it has agreed to sell itself to food and restaurant company Wonder Group, founded by entrepreneur Marc Lore, for $103 million. The deal, at $13 per share, represents a significant premium from Blue Apron's per-share price at Thursday's close of $5.49.

Some of our ingredients are USDA-certified organic. We're committed to sending quality ingredients in every delivery and supporting farmers who use sustainable farming practices.

HelloFresh sources directly from suppliers and they do not mark up the price of ingredients. Recipes are kept seasonal and ingredients are prepared in the appropriate portions so there is no food waste.

Other diets and limitations may be more challenging when it comes to HelloFresh. If you stick to a paleo diet or need to avoid dairy in your meals, you might have to make adjustments to ingredients in order to make it work with HelloFresh, since there aren't a lot of options to choose from there.

Compared to Blue Apron, HelloFresh has more vegetarian and health-conscious options available, in part due to their larger menu. Combined with their slightly lower calorie count and meals with big portions, HelloFresh wins another round.

Which Is Cheaper, Blue Apron or HelloFresh? While pricing between these kits is comparable, Blue Apron is technically less expensive than HelloFresh, which may surprise some readers. Blue Apron's least expensive plan is $7.99 per serving, compared to HelloFresh's $8.99.

We carefully pack our boxes with insulated thermal liners and refrigerants to maintain appropriate temperatures during transit and delivery, and our team of packaging and food safety experts regularly assesses the efficacy of our packaging, which we modify as needed.

Total orders fell more than 21% from the prior year. But average revenue per customer of $397 was up 21.3% year over year, the company said. The meal kit company said it expects net revenue and customer counts to continue to plunge at the close of 2023 because it is spending less money on marketing.

Following the close of this transaction, Wonder plans to continue Blue Apron's current operations serving customers nationwide under the Blue Apron brand, with expected new synergies between consumer-facing apps and delivery logistics.
