Our lentil bowls are prepared in a state-of-the-art kitchen by professional chefs, ensuring high-quality standards. We use fresh ingredients and cook in small batches to maintain taste and nutritional value, and then freeze-dry them.

Freeze drying is the most delicate method of preserving food. Here are some important factors about freeze drying and why we chose to use that instead of the traditional dehydration: Nutrient Retention, Preserves Quality, Long Shelf Life, Lightweight, Quick Rehydration.

No, our meals are free from preservatives and artificial ingredients. We believe in delivering meals that are as natural and healthy as possible.

Complete Protein means it includes all nine essential amino acids our bodies can't make on their own. In lentils, the amino acid methionine is limited, while grains often lack lysine. By combining lentils with grains, Aahana's Lentil Bowls supply these missing amino acids, ensuring a balanced and comprehensive protein source in every serving, which is equivalent in quality to animal protein.

Sprouting boasts a variety of benefits, and here are some most significant ones:

  • Enhanced Nutritional Value: Sprouting increases the levels of essential nutrients, including vitamins and minerals, making lentils even healthier.
  • Improved Digestibility: The process breaks down some of the starches into simpler sugars and reduces antinutrients, making sprouted lentils easier to digest.
  • Increased Protein Availability: Sprouting can enhance the bioavailability of protein, ensuring your body can absorb and utilize it more efficiently.
  • Better Taste and Texture: Sprouted lentils often have a milder, less earthy taste and a softer texture, enhancing the overall eating experience.
  • Boosted Antioxidant Levels: The sprouting process can increase antioxidant compounds in lentils, contributing to better health and disease prevention.

In India, our lentil bowls are traditionally called Khichdi or Kitchari. This dish is a comforting, porridge-like mixture of lentils and rice known for its simplicity and ease of digestion. Crafted from family recipes passed down through generations, our Khichdi is prepared following Ayurvedic principles. This not only enhances its digestibility and immune-boosting properties but also preserves the authenticity and warmth of a cherished 'comfort food' in Indian cuisine.
