Crunchy Little Lentils

I know I have posted about Three Farmers before... their Camelina oil and their Roasted Chickpea snacks, I believe. I stumbled across this, their Crunchy Little Lentils. These are a great snack and I love them lightly sprinkled over a salad for some added crunch. They are high in fibre, low fat, nut and peanut free, gluten free, Non-GMO, Vegan, a great source of energy and offer about 7 grams of protein. A healthy alternative that is surprisingly filling.

Roasted Chocolate Coated Chickpeas

A few weeks ago we managed to go to an annual craft fair here in E-town. We usually go to pick up some holiday treats and such. While we were cruising the aisles and multitude of vendors; tucked at the back was a modest Three Farmers booth. If you recall I did a post months ago regarding the Three Farmers Camelina oil. I picked up another one of their oils, roasted garlic and chili, and tried a sample of their chocolate coated chickpeas. They were quite good and I do recommend you try these. A different snack that offers 3 grams of protein and 3 grams of fibre, with 10% iron, and are gluten free!

Camelina Oil & Roasted Chickpeas

The other day while at the butcher's I bought a bottle of Three Farmers - Camelina Oil. I was intrigued because I have never heard of Camelina oil or Three Farmers. It is a Canadian Company. The oil is high in Vitamin E and Omega-3. It has a smoke point of 475º and is Non-GMO. The flavour has subtle hints of asparagus with a bit of nuttiness. Which makes this perfect for salads and cooking. Each bottle has a traceable code on the back so that you may Trace Your Food on their website. I traced mine and found when the bottle I bought was seeded and harvested, growing conditions throughout the year, growing conditions upon harvesting and the farmer! This is a very interesting way to further connect the consumer with the product. Which reiterates the theme: Farm to Fork even more so. 

I made a salad dressing using the Camelina oil and it was absolutely tasty. One of my best salad dressings I have made so far. 

  

Who can resist anything maple, not  me. I bought their roasted chickpeas... in maple frosted. These are a great snack and wonderful to add to a salad. They are high in fibre, protein and magnesium. With a source of iron and Omega-3. They are also nut-free and gluten-free. They too come with a traceable code that provides more information on how the chickpeas are grown.
