The Take
Fillo's Peruvian Lentils earn their keep with extra virgin olive oil, actual onion and garlic, and no seed oils hiding in the sofrito.
Busy people chasing quick protein without ultra-processed sludge will like the 10g protein and 5g fiber per serving, but the pouch format exists mainly to extract a premium for what dry lentils plus five minutes of chopping already deliver.
The Verdict
This pouch sits in the narrow band between actual food and convenience tax. The ingredient list reads like a home kitchen rather than a lab, and the olive oil choice keeps it out of the usual industrial trap.
Health-conscious buyers who refuse seed oils yet won't chop an onion will feel seen. Everyone else pays extra for the marketing of pre-1990 vibes.
Buy the pouch only when time beats money. Otherwise cook dry lentils with your own sofrito.
