In August of 2025 me and my family were visiting the Czech Republic after my little brother finished a religious mission there. We were traveling around the many cities he lived in when we came across a farmers market. The food was plentiful and unique. In comparison to farmers markets I had been in the US there was a large variety of foods I had never tried.
My favorite product were these fried lentils. They had many flavors - sweet and savory. They were crispy and delicious. After buying our fair share and trying a variety of other foods an idea began to brew. You see, I’m a nutrition major. My mom had raised me to love healthy food and to be able to identify what was good for me. I have the information, the experience, and the drive to truly make a difference and snacks was the perfect opportunity.
Over this past year I had identified lentils as the snack to begin with. They are cheap and easy, and I can make them better. To start off I decided no frying. They would be tastier, but I know they wouldn’t be the healthiest food I wanted. I started experimenting. Baking. Seasoning blends. How to get them to stick. When finally a year later I was ready to release my first product. The process is ongoing but for now, many people are enjoying Always Lentils in all of their flavors.
