Their high protein content makes lentils a perfect option for those looking to boost their protein intake. They are naturally gluten-free, making them a delicious staple in a gluten-free kitchen. Their exceptionally low glycemic index (low GI) values and resistant starch content make them suitable for a diabetic diet. Protein Did you know?

With such high protein content, you are sure to be fuelled up all day long. Fibre Did you know? Just 100 grams of dry green lentils packs in 80% of your days’ worth of fibre!

As environmental activists, we are serious about reducing waste at every stage of the farm to table journey of food. With that in mind, we've launched our own On The Move Organics Zero-Waste product line: high quality organic pantry staples, coffee, tea, and condiments packaged in recoverable glass jars. This program allows us to buy organic items in bulk ( = less waste through the distribution stage), and then retail in recoverable glass jars ( = zero waste at the consumption stage).    HOW DOES IT WORK? All our Zero-Waste Products have a $1 deposit. When you're done with the jar, wash it out and return it in your On The Move Organics bin. We'll return that deposit to you on your next order. We wash and re-use the jars. ____________________
