Our Nutritional Principles

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.

The harmony of nutritions ​​and excellent taste

We follow our main nutritional principles: Plant-based, favoring wholefood and avoiding added sugars where possible.

Crafting with Respect for Nature

We work with ingredients in a way that respects their natural character — from their authentic flavours to the qualities they bring to plantbased cooking. Whenever possible, we use gentle methods such as fermentation, or infusion, to develop depth and complexity in a natural way. 

Taste Experiences Inspired by Culinary Traditions

Our products bring together familiar ingredients and new culinary inspirations, including influences from Japanese food culture. We enjoy creating surprising combinations and offering plant based foods that open the door to new taste experiences.

Thoughtful Choices for Different Lifestyles

We offer a range of products to suit different dietary preferences, including options that are gluten free, lactose free, low in salt, high in fibre, high in protein, or caffeine free. This allows you to choose the products that best fit your daily routine.

Condiments made with Time-Honoured Methods

Many of our condiments are made using traditional techniques such as fermentation, which helps create distinctive flavours and a naturally rich character.
