How much does shipping cost?

Because we are handling refrigerated food, we have to use DPD Food, where nationwide delivery costs 9,90 €. We are constantly working on keeping the delivery costs as low as possible for you. To ensure a sustainable and fast delivery throughout Germany, we unfortunately are facing high costs and hoping to lower them in the very near future.

Meals

How do you produce the meals?

The dishes are prepared in our local kitchen, Herzensküche, Stephanstraße 5, 12167 Berlin by our trained Chef gabby with hand-picked ingredients and a lot of attention to detail for the postpartum period.

Allergies and other food intolerants

All our dishes are either vegetarian or vegan/nut-free/gluten-free. Since these have already been prepared, we can unfortunately not consider other allergens or dietary requirements.

How many people is one dish for?

A dish is always 2 servings for one person. But ultimately, of course, it's up to you if you would like to indulge everything by yourself or share with a loved one.

How do I prepare my food?

The meals must thaw before they can be heated. Depending on the type of dish, you either place in a water bath or pour the content out of the bag into a saucepan and heat until desired temperature. Some dishes, like the bakes and lasagnas, you take out of the meal trays, place in an oven-proof dish and then in the oven until desired heat.

How long does the preparation take?

We recommend to always defrost the frozen meals overnight. Then preparation of a complete dish never takes more than around 10-15 minutes. Nothing more needs to be chopped or prepared, just reheated.

Gift Voucher

What happens when I purchase a digital voucher?

When you purchase a digital gift voucher, you will receive a code sent via the email address you have provided at checkout. If you are gifting this to a friend, please use their email address or alternatively you can get it sent to yourself first and then forward onto them.

What happens when I purchase a printed gift voucher?

We offer beautiful printed gift voucher with an envelope that takes 2-3 days to get printed and sent via post. The 8 € charged at checkout covers the postage, the printing on the craft paper as well as the pretty envelope the voucher arrives in.

Do the gift voucher expire?

Our digital and printed voucher expire within one year. They cannot be used for cash trades or for purchasing other vouchers in our online store.

What if I didn't get my digital code via email?

Please check your email spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails may have snuck in there. If it's also not in there and you still haven't received your digital voucher code, please contact us via email or chat and we can offer assistance.

Storage

Can I freeze the meals to save for later?

If the frozen goods still arrive in a frozen state, they can be stored in the freezer again. However, sometimes the shipment may take longer than planned or due to other unforeseen circumstances, the frozen goods may not be in a completely frozen state anymore. In this case we recommend to put them in the refrigerator and consume them within the next 4 working days.

What is the use-by date of my food?

The shelf life of the dishes varies between the individual creations, but as long as you keep them refrigerated, we guarantee a shelf life of the meals without loss of freshness of up to 4 days from delivery day. The Super Mama Goji Energy Treats last for 2 weeks from arrival and the Granola for up to 1 month. If meals are frozen directly after arrival, they will still be fresh for up to 3 months.

Sustainability

How sustainable is Mama Muun?

At Mama Muun we are constantly researching and working on more sustainable ways to create less impact on the environment. That's why we offer only plant-based meals and source our ingredients regionally whenever and wherever possible, taking care of the carbon footprint of our products

How much packaging do we use?

Your Mama Muun dishes come either in 100% recyclable bags or in biodegradable meal trays that are sealed with a thin film. Compared to traditional plastic trays, this saves us more than 95% plastic. We also use 100% BPA-free materials. However we are still not happy with these results and are on a constant look out for better plastic-free and recyclable options and trialing always new ways to deliver even more sustainably.

Can I recycle the packaging?

In your Mama Muun package you can
- recycle the cardboard box via the paper bin.
- add the inlay cooling fabric to the yellow bin as it is made from recycled bottles.
- add our meal trays to the normal bin as it's biodegradable. The tray foil will be recycled via the yellow bin.
- recycle our soup and stew bags via the yellow bin.
