Faqs

  • We don't inflate our serving sizes. What you see on the label is what you actually eat.

    It's all thanks to the lupini bean, one of the highest protein legumes on the planet, with half the carbs of chickpeas and 3x the protein of eggs. They're are also a complete protein with all 9 essential amino acids, and they pack 3x the fiber of oats. We use them as the base of everything we make, which is how you get products with 1-9g net carbs and up to 20g+ protein per serving. No trade offs. Just a better bean doing the work.

  • For Pasta:
    Kaizen cooks a lot faster than regular pasta, in anywhere from 4-6 minutes. This time varies by shape, so please reference the packaging instructions, make sure you boil in generously salted water, and do not overcook! As with any pasta alternative, please experiment with cooking times to find the right cooking time for you and your family. It's important to salt your water and not overboil the pasta.

    For Rice:
    Our rice cooks very similarly to pasta. In a large pot of boiling water, add a generous amount of salt, add your rice, and cook to your desired firmness. Some foaming is normal. Remember that you will need to strain your rice, and we recommend rinsing it when cooked.

    We recommend tasting the rice around the 5 minute mark to see if it is to your liking. If you prefer a softer rice, cook it for 1-3 more minutes. Taste buds and preferences can vary by person, and cook times can be affected by several factors, including temperature, your stove, and even your altitude. We invite you to experiment with cook times to see what you prefer best!

    For Mac & Cheese:

    Kaizen cooks a lot faster than regular mac and cheese, in anywhere from 4-6 minutes. Please reference the packaging instructions, make sure you boil in generously salted water, and do not overcook! It is important you use regular dairy (half and half, light cream, or heavy cream work best). Do not use a plant-based milk.

    Taste buds and preferences can vary by person, and cook times can be affected by several factors, including temperature, your stove, and even your altitude. We invite you to experiment with cook times to see what you prefer best!

    For Flour:
    You can swap out a portion of your traditional flour, or go as far as swapping out the entire amount, depending on your recipe!

    For Salt Discs:
    Salt Discs are designed to take the guesswork out of salting pasta water. Drop 1 Salt Disc into 6 cups of water, bring to a boil, then add your pasta. That’s it.

    Perfectly salted water is the foundation of great pasta. It seasons the pasta from the inside out, enhancing flavor before sauce ever touches it. Salt Discs ensure consistent results every time, no measuring and no guessing required.

  • Instead of regular flour or semolina, we use lupini bean flour! Lupini beans are versatile, low in carbs, and have a great nutrition profile. They have long been considered a superfood and pack a ton of protein, fiber, and nutrients.

  • Top 8 Allergen Free
    We produce our products in a dedicated gluten free facility and do not use any of the top 8 allergens. Lupini beans are a legume belonging to the same plant family as peanuts. We would recommend you consult with your doctor before consuming any new food product, including Kaizen.

    Gluten Free Certified
    Our pasta, rice, mac & cheese, and lupin flour are gluten free certified by GFCO.

    Non GMO
    Our ingredients are non GMO.

    No Glyphosates
    We test our products regularly, our recent independent 3rd party lab testing was not able to detect the presence of any glyphosates in our products.

    Diabetic Friendly
    We have a lot of customers with diabetes that enjoy our products and have not had any reports of spiked blood sugars. As always, consult your doctor to determine if a particular food is right for you.

    Kosher
    Our pasta, rice, mac & cheese, and lupin flour, are certified Kosher.

  • We do not use ingredients that are sprayed with glyphosate. We use regeneratively grown, non gmo lupini beans to make our Kaizen pasta, rice and mac & cheese. In addition, we use a third party lab to independently test our products for glyphosate. All recent tests have confirmed “not detected” for glyphosate. We will continue to use a third party lab to test our products regularly.

  • In short, we think so! Kaizen has up to 5x more protein and 86% fewer carbs than traditional options, and uses lupini beans as the main ingredient, which contain all 9 amino acids.

    We know the price is a bit higher than you’d see for that of regular or even chickpea alternatives, but it’s because our high quality ingredients offer so much more nutrition. Lupini beans are 4x more expensive than that of regular ingredients, and pack a ton more nutrition. Our products have up to 5x more protein and 86% fewer carbs than traditional options, all while being plant-based, gluten free, non gmo, kosher, and diabetic friendly.

  • Yes, Kaizen went through a packaging transition.

    The new packaging is simply a better reflection of how great Kaizen already is. Same ingredients. Same macros. Same performance. It’s still 100% Kaizen inside.

Kaizen means “continuous improvement” and it's the motivation behind everything we do.

In 2017, I found myself obese and out of shape after decades of trying and failing to lose weight. 
I would lose a few pounds, feel deprived, fall back into old habits, and gain it all back. Eventually, something clicked. I didn’t need to give up the foods I loved. I just needed better versions of them.

After many iterations, Kaizen was born. A pasta 
& rice that doesn’t ask you to choose between enjoying your food & hitting your goals.
