LENTILICIOUS Q&A

I recently had the chance to chat with health business owners Sharna and Anthea from Lentilicious and I asked them all about their products. Lentilicious offers five extremely delicious and very diverse flavours including; Coconut Fusion, Lime Time, Tumeric Magic, Red Chilli and Mediterranean. This large range of options results in a flavour suited to match any meal you make and a great addition to add something a bit special. Lentilicious products are not only incredibly healthy and nutrition filled but also very delicious so it's guaranteed to be a great hit with the whole family and even could be an avenue to introduce others to the amazing world of healthy eating.


Now let's get onto what amazing Lentilicious owners Sharna and Anthea have to say. 

Where did the inspiration for Lentilicious come from?
Both Sharna and Anthea are passionate about well balanced delicious vegetarian cuisine. Our inspiration came from the traditional indian dahl of course! What we wanted to do was make it more mainstream for the Australian market and give our customers an alternative high protein meal that will replace animal protein and encourage people to eat more vegetarian based foods.

Lentilicious offers five different flavours of lentils; Coconut Fusion, Lime Time, Tumeric Magic, Red Chilli and Mediterranean. Which is your personal favourite?
All five lentilicious flavours are uniquely different and we actually love them all!  
It all depends what mood we are in and what we have planned for the meal of the day as each one can create its own delectable eating experience and our recipes online are there to give our customers some ideas as to the different dishes you can create.


Lentilicious products are labelled as gluten free, 99% fat free, low GI, high protein, high fibre, vegan, kosher and GMO free. How important was it for you in the process of creating your products to ensure all of these aspects were considered?
As vegetarian mums it is extremely important to us that every meal we create for our families and ourselves are well balanced, colourful, nutritious, tasteful meals. Lentils are a super food and are very versatile and have a wonderful way of nourishing our bodies, mind and spirit.

Lentils are such a wholesome and nutritious food so does your interest in such high quality ingredients reflect your philosophy on health and fitness?
We believe in the slogan "You are what you eat" as everything you put into your body reflects on your general health mentally and physically. Wholesome and nutritious food is vital to good health and incorporating more lentils into your diet is good for yourself, our precious animal kingdom and fragile planet.
Lentilicious has become so successful where now anything seems possible, what’s next?
We love what we do and it is our dream to see Lentilicious expand nationally and internationally as we believe that if people eat more lentils  it will be the way to a better, healthier  sustainable future for everyone!
