Nutritional balance is at the core of Lima’s products
A well‑balanced vegan diet is based on a variety of plant‑based foods and may include sources of plant protein, fibre, and naturally occurring minerals, while being characterised by a generally low contribution of saturated fat.
Lima products offer ingredients that support a balanced and mindful approach to plant based eating:
Whole grains
Whole grains are left just as they are in nature, keeping all parts of the grain intact. This preserves their natural fibre and nutrients and makes them a satisfying, wholesome ingredient in balanced meals.
A preference for complex carbohydrates
Carbohydrates come in different forms. Simple carbohydrates, like those in fruit, are absorbed quickly and provide fast energy. Complex carbohydrates, found in whole grains, bread, or pasta, release energy more gradually. Including both types as part of your diet supports balanced energy throughout the day.
Plant-based proteins
Combining cereals and legumes is a smart way to obtain all the essential amino acids your body needs but cannot produce on its own. Many of our plant based products are developed with this natural complementarity in mind.
Unsaturated fats
Unsaturated fats are an important part of a varied and balanced diet. Nuts, seeds, and grains, and the products made from them are valuable plant sources of these fats.
