When founded in 2014, Purple Carrot was the first all plant-based meal kit service in the United States, coining the slogan the "New American Diet". Consumers can choose between two different packages. Either a three-night meal plan which serves two people ($68) or a two-night meal plan that serves four ($74). The meal prep times vary, depending on which meals are being cooked, but claim to fall within the 30-minute range. Mark Bittman, its chief innovation officer in 2015, says they can take up to 60 minutes, depending on the skill of the cook. Purple Carrot was acquired by the Japan's largest meal-kit and organic food delivery service Oisix ra daichi Inc. in May 2019 for $12.8 million. In May 2022, Rishi Bhatia was appointed the new CEO of the company. Previously he was the chief technology officer at Purple Carrot. Bhatia stated in an interview with Modern Retail, “We want to continue to deliver unique flavors, but also increase our value proposition through convenience and flexibility, as cooking habits evolve."
