OUR GREEN BUILDING BLOCKS

Plant-Based Protein

Water lentils have a higher percent of Essential Amino Acids (EAA) and Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) than any other plant-based protein. The protein quality that you receive from water lentils is better than any other plant-based protein.

The digestibility of our water lentils also far exceeds that of a pea. Water lentils have a digestibility of 93% while both soy and pea have a lower digestibility. The bioavailability and digestibility of our plant protein are unparalleled. Our protein also comes from the whole plant, not an isolate, so the processing is minimal compared to other isolated proteins.

We provide you with a high-quality protein to help build, repair and maintain muscle.

Clean Gut Health

Fiber

Water lentils contain dietary fiber. Dietary fiber is essential for digestion and gut health. There is a specific blend of insoluble and soluble fiber to keep your digestion healthy, and water lentils have it!

Fiber is linked to reducing the risk of many chronic illnesses like heart disease through lowering LDL cholesterol levels. Fiber can also combat insulin sensitivity and stabilize blood sugar levels while also aiding in weight loss.

Water lentils have the perfect blend of soluble and insoluble fiber to support healthy digestion.

only plant-based

Vitamin B12

Traditionally, Vitamin B12 has only been found in animal sources or from synthetic, unnatural supplements. A recent discovery, however, has proven that water lentils are a source of Vitamin B12!

Water lentils are one of the only sources of plant-based Vitamin B12 containing the two bioactive forms of the vitamin.

Lutein & Zeaxanthin

Water lentils contain lutein and zeaxanthin, two carotenoids commonly found in the eye. However, by supplementing your diet with lutein and zeaxanthin, you can improve those carotenoid levels and help your eyes! They also are useful for filtering out the blue light from TV, laptops and cell phones.

Antioxidants

Omega-3 fats, polyphenols, lutein, chlorophyll and a high source of Vitamin A content all contribute to water lentils' natural antioxidant abilities. Antioxidants are known to prevent free radicals and oxidative stress, which are the cause of many chronic diseases.

Chlorophyll

Water lentils are, as I’m sure you’ve seen, green. That green color comes from the high chlorophyll content. Chlorophyll is an antioxidant that prevents oxidation within the body. Chlorophyll is also good for the body in multiple other ways like detoxing and reducing inflammation. Chlorophyll is not just good for color!

Vitamin A

Vitamin A has a multitude of functions within the body. It is starting with the immune system, where it aids in the production of white blood cells. Vitamin A also is essential for your eyesight. It is used in the conversion of light in the retina into signals to the brain. As well as immune function and eyesight, Vitamin A is used in growth, reproduction, and bone health.

Iron & Zinc

Iron carries oxygen around your body. When your body lacks iron, your energy levels plummet because you are not getting enough oxygen to your brain and muscles.

Zinc also has many functions and is involved in a variety of processes in the body. Zinc helps hundreds of enzymes to carry out their tasks, which can range from signaling to digestion.

Phosphorus

Phosphorus is another mineral that is extremely important. Phosphorus is used in nearly every reaction in your body. Phosphorus is used for nerve conduction, energy maintenance, muscle contraction, and repairing tissues to name a few. It is even used to make your DNA.

Magnesium

Magnesium is a cofactor for thousands of enzymes in your body, which means that magnesium is used in nearly every function in your body from protein synthesis and muscle movement to blood pressure regulation.

Omega-3

Water lentils contain high quantities of omega-3 fatty acids, specifically alpha-linoleic acid, at nearly 50% of your recommended daily intake. Omega-3 fatty acids may provide a reduction in LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and an increase in HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol). Omega-3 supplementation can benefit cardiac health and reduce coronary events.

Calcium

Calcium makes up the majority of your teeth and bone structure. When you lack calcium, even in just a day, your body breaks down your teeth and bones. By consuming water lentils, you are giving your body the calcium it needs and preventing the risk of osteoporosis.
