Papadum Lentil Crisps: The Healthier Snack

Papadum, also known as Papad, is one of the healthiest snacks you can find. Made of lentils, it is a healthier alternative than stuffing on those fatty potato wafers. Make it your 4 pm snack or use it as an appetizer with dinner, Papadum is a multipurpose snack for everyone.

At Pride of India, we have a century long tradition of consuming pure and healthy foods. We source the freshest ingredients that are naturally and sustainably cultivated in order to enhance the overall health of the human body.

Our Papadum Lentil Crisps are handmade with nutrient-rich lentils and spices that are cultivated in humid and temperate areas of India. These sun-dried lentil crisps are light, easy to digest, fast to cook, and popularly consumed for their high protein, iron, as well as fiber content. That is the reason why our delicious snack has been chosen as a NEXTY Awards finalist for the Natural Products Expo East 2019!

One of the reasons behind Papadum’s popularity is that it is one ingredient that could be consumed in so many ways and comes in so many varieties. Roasted, deep fried, masala, chilli, pepper and a hundred more varieties. It is an inseparable part of Indian meals as it is light, crispy, and leaves your taste buds delighted with their crunch.
