Congratulations to Naturally MN Member Brand Maazah on this exciting launch! We can't wait to rush to Lunds & Byerlys and try the new line. ????
HOLY DIPS!!! ?? Maazah Lentil Dips have dropped at Lunds & Byerlys! Inspired by our Mom’s magical daal recipe, these bold, flavor-packed dips are here to shake up your snack plate. Move over, hummus—lentils bring the protein, antioxidants, and gut-friendly fiber you need. Meet the lineup: ?? Lemon Tahini Lentil Dip – Bright, punchy lemon and rich nutty tahini, so good you’ll want to eat it straight off the spoon. ?? Basil Jalape?o Lentil Dip – Spicy, herby, and bold, with fresh basil and vibrant jalape?o in every creamy bite. ?? Turmeric Ginger Lentil Dip – Warm, earthy, and subtly zesty, like a golden hour glow for your taste buds. ??? Roasted Red Pepper Lentil Dip – A little smoky, a little sweet, and totally satisfying. For a Minnesota-based brand, launching at Lunds & Byerlys (our hometown fave!) is a dream come true. HUGE thank you to Nate Cormack for the opportunity and Nali Prchal, MS, FNTP, RWP for making our dip dreams come true!! ?? Look for Maazah Lentil Dips and Magic Sauces in the dairy/refrigerated section at ALL Lunds & Byerlys!

Had a fantastic time today! Spent the morning discussing term loans, lines of credit, and SBA loans with a group of wonderful business builders at Naturally MN’s capital access fair. Big thanks to Kate LaBrosse and Allison Hohn for organizing this event. Community engagement is crucial, especially in the CPG sector. Special thanks to Bell Bank for their sponsorship! It was great to catch up with familiar faces, friends, and customers alike. Yasameen Sajady, MBA, Sheilla Sajady, Bryant Williams, Kasey Devine, MBA, Kailin Oliver, and Allison McDonald. #building #capitalaccess #CPG #entrepreneurship
