Making its East Coast debut, the oil-free whole-lentil brand is turning a trusted pantry staple into a modern crunchy snack, breakfast, and topper platform
OCEANSIDE, Calif., June 2026 — Lentil Telepathy®, the California-based brand giving lentils a modern makeover, will make its East Coast debut at the 2026 Summer Fancy Food Show, taking place June 28-30 at the Javits Center in New York City.
Exhibiting for the first time at Summer Fancy Food Show NYC in Booth 2373, Lentil Telepathy is inviting specialty food buyers, distributors, brokers, retailers, and food media to experience lentils in a way they have not seen before: crunchy, ready-to-eat, oil-free, and built for modern snacking, breakfast, and everyday meals.
“People already know and trust lentils,” said Amy Isenberg, Founder of Lentil Telepathy. “We’re giving them a modern makeover. We’re taking lentils out of the soup bowl and into the snack pack, yogurt cup, salad bowl, and everyday eating routine.”
The debut comes as fiber-forward eating, protein-plus-fiber snacks, plant-based foods, and simpler less-processed snacks are gaining momentum with consumers. Lentils sit at the center of that conversation, delivering a rare nutritional trifecta: protein, fiber, and low calories in one familiar whole-food ingredient.
Lentil Telepathy fills a clear white space in better-for-you snacking. With 1 in 7 Americans now following some form of specialty diet, the brand offers a seasoned crunchy snack that is oil-free, 100% plant-based, free from the top allergens, gluten-free, certified kosher, certified non-GMO, 100 calories per serving, and naturally packed with both protein and fiber.
Unlike many better-for-you snacks that rely on oils, puffing, crisps, or extrusion, Lentil Telepathy starts with whole lentils. The result is a crunchy, satisfying snack experience rooted in a back-to-basics ingredient consumers already recognize.
At Summer Fancy Food Show NYC, Lentil Telepathy will showcase its expanding whole-lentil platform:
Crunchy Lentil Snacks
Ready-to-eat savory and sweet whole-lentil snacks available in a variety of sizes. Current flavors include Cheddah, Sea Salt & Vinegar, Peri-Peri Chili Lemon, and Chocolate.
The First and Only Whole Lentil Breakfast Cereal
A breakthrough breakfast format that brings crunchy lentils into yogurt bowls, smoothie bowls, cereal routines, and better-for-you morning occasions.
Crunchy Lentil Toppers
A versatile meal topper for salads, soups, bowls, vegetables, side dishes, deli sets, and prepared meals – all oil-free, gluten-free, plant-based, and a superfood alternative to croutons, bacon bits, and fried toppers.
Single-Serve Flavor Variety Packs
A new format designed for trial, lunchboxes, travel, office snacking, grab-and-go, and multi-person households.
The brand will also offer a first look at upcoming flavors, including Dill Pickle Ranch and Gochujang, with limited early preview samples available for select buyers, distributors, and food media.
For retailers and distributors, Lentil Telepathy offers more than a new snack. Its inclusive dietary fit, whole-food foundation, and flexible formats make it a natural match for traditional grocery as well as schools and campuses, gyms and wellness settings, cultural attraction gift shops, workplaces and offices, airports, hotels, and leisure destinations.
For food writers, Lentil Telepathy sits at the center of several timely food conversations: the resurgence of legumes, the rise of fiber-forward eating, protein-plus-fiber snacking, snack aisle fatigue, growing scrutiny of seed oils and hidden saturated fats in everyday snacks, and the reinvention of humble pantry staples for modern consumers.
Buyers, distributors, and media attending the 2026 Summer Fancy Food Show are invited to visit Lentil Telepathy at Booth 2373 to taste the line, preview new flavors, and learn how the brand is turning lentils into one of the most unexpected crunch stories in specialty food.
