We’re so excited you received your ORQA meals!

Below you’ll find our recommended

Heating Instructions

for every dish for this weeks menu.

Every dish is crafted to preserve nutrient density and flavor.

💡 For best results, we encourage oven reheating over the microwave.

Gentle heat preserves the nutrient integrity and energy pathway from soil → cell, helping you get the full benefit of every bite.

We trust you will enjoy every bite and feel your cells energize!
