It’s safe to say that on most days, it is food that can pull you out of your mind fog. The COVID-19 pandemic had us all turning to the one thing we could turn to in such an unstable time, and that was food. Home-cooked meals are amazing. However, sometimes it’s only food from outside which can soothe all your cravings. 

The pandemic hit restaurants and food companies hard. However, some food products saw a massive increase in sales during the pandemic, largely because of TikTok and the internet. If you’re thinking of trying out products from some new companies, read on as we give you all the information in this article.
