Common questions

Is Unico Lentils healthy?

Unico Lentils scores 87/100 on Tallow — our clean band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Unico Lentils?

Unico Lentils lists 5 ingredients, starting with Lentils, Water, Salt, Calcium Chloride and Disodium Edta. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

No. Nothing in Unico Lentils’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".
