Plant Protein: Vegan - Gluten Free - Low GI
Pod Cuisine works directly with growers where possible to source the legumes and other fresh and organic ingredients. Research shows that bioavailability of nutrients from legumes is at its highest in the first 4 to 5 months after harvesting. Leguminous (pod-bearing) plants are an ancient food source and are the main ingredient in all meals which are all natural with no preservatives or artificial flavours. Pod Cuisine is a food for everyone and eating plant protein even one day a week will provide huge dividends towards making your diet healthier. Legumes are typically low in fat, contain no cholesterol, and are high in protein, folate, potassium, iron and magnesium. They also have phytochemicals, that may help prevent chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. In addition, plant protein (unlike animal protein) is a good source of soluble fibre and can reduce your risk of developing diabetes and help lower blood cholesterol levels, a major cause of heart disease. Diets rich in legumes have a low glycemic index and this improves blood glucose control, decreases insulin secretion, and delays the return of hunger after a meal making it easier to lose weight. All Pod meals are gluten free providing an ideal protein option for people with coeliac disease. Favourite Pod Cuisine meals include lentils cooked with gluten free buckwheat, black turtle beans and corn, black-eyed beans with seaweed and shitake mushrooms, kabuli chickpeas with ginger and coconut and adzuki beans cooked in a fresh dill and mustard sauce.
