Meet Oddpods, pulses with no minuses
Oddpods, have been in pursuit of perfect pulses for years. Their founders gained their knowledge buying and trading some of the oddest pods on the market, bringing them to kitchens all over the country.
It’s this knowledge, combined with a love of wholesome, home cooked meals, which inspired them to launch Oddpods. A range of no nonsense, ethically sourced pulses, that are ready to eat and packed with plant-based protein.
Story of Chana Dal
Deep in the foothills of Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, farmers are using the same methods they have for hundreds of years to grow black chickpeas. After harvest, the black chickpeas are split and de-husked to make a wonderfully traditional Chana Dal. When Oddpods discovered this, they knew it was the perfect place to source from. Use the Chana Dal Oddpods in everything from salads to delicious meals like Thai Green Curry.
