LYO says
Enjoy our vegan version of classic dhal. Our aromatic red lentils dhal cooked in a creamy coconut-tomato sauce. Crowned with crispy green lentils for extra bite. Served with gluten free millet.
We are cooking before freeze-drying. In our pouches there are no artificial additives, no extra sugar, no palm oil and no preservatives! Our meals are made from 100% natural ingredients and some of them are growing on our own fields.
Our Verdict
LYO have tried to take a different route with their meals focussing on natural, fresh ingredients and no preservatives or artificial additives. They proudly cultivate some of the fruits and herbs on their own fields. Other fruits and herbs as well as vegetables come from farmers known to them personally. All ingredients are carefully verified to ensure that their products meet the highest quality standards.
The majority of the meals use interesting combinations of natural ingredients with chunky vegetables, authentic flavours and more of a home cooked approach. We’ve been lucky enough to test a variety of them and have always been impressed with the end results. Generally, we appreciated the good combinations of flavour, texture and portion size.
The fill line for adding water to the packs is novel with a blue area from the bottom showing how much water is required. It is quite a subtle design feature that can be easy to miss and some form of internal indicator would be best but it still works.

| STAFF'S TASTE TEST - This vegan curry provides a mild flavour and uses lentils as an alternative to rice, which put a few of our staff off. Some decent flavours but it certainly comes out at the mild, creamy end of the scale and lacks any real spice which split our staff's opinions. It is certainly a filling meal. Overall a safe choice for a simple meal to help you refill and refuel. |
