No one really thinks of lentils as a snack, yet there's a new company that has taken this humble legume to new heights. Seapoint Farms has turned a kitchen staple into a fun new treat - Mighty Lil Lentils, This not only introduces snack lovers to a protein filled bean but also to a new kind of bite.
This Hunting Beach California company is known for its' healthy snacks, Seapoint Farms produces frozen and dry roasted edamame , both tasty as well as seaweed crisps. They also offer such riced veggie dishes as Buddha Un-fried Rice and Chik'n Tikka Masala along with organic edamame spaghetti and fettucine.
Mighty Lil Lentils come in four flavors, Pink Himalayan Salt, and Barbecue.Along with Cinnamon Sugar and Falafel.
The savory flavors are packed with taste. Any one of them is a perfect handful of snacking. They're all crunchy , sort of like dried chickpeas and have that kind of aftertaste. I can see the Pink Himalayan Salt and Falafel flavors being used in salads for extra crunch and more flavoring. The Barbecue flavored lentils could work as a crust for pork chops or even chicken. Surprisingly the cinnamon sugar lentils isn't that wild tasting. These's a sweetness and a crispness to them which would make them perfect for sprinkling over cupcakes and cake and as a surprise on sundaes and cereal bowls. They'd also be good in a tangine, replacing raisins in the recipe. Another plus is that a quarter cup of any of the lentils is only 150 calories and that much is filling.
