For a weekly shop where protein from the cake itself matters, compare lentil-based cakes with plain rice cakes rather than assuming they provide similar amounts: Tesco lists Kallo Protein Lentil Cakes at 26g protein per 100g, while Asda lists Kallo Organic Lightly Salted Wholegrain Rice Cakes at 8.5g per 100g. Plain rice cakes offer a base for toppings; flavoured veggie cakes offer a ready-seasoned alternative. Check the exact pack’s nutrition, allergens and storage instructions before choosing.
A lentil-based cake is worth comparing when the cake itself needs to contribute protein. Tesco lists 26g per 100g for Kallo Protein Lentil Cakes; Asda lists 8.5g per 100g for Kallo’s lightly salted wholegrain rice cakes. Check the figures on the particular pack you buy.
Kallo describes its Protein Lentil Cakes and Sweet Chilli Veggie Cakes as suitable for these diets. Their precautionary allergen statements still matter: the listings mention possible cross-contact with sesame, soya or milk, depending on the product. Check the current pack if you need to avoid an allergen.
A plain rice cake can serve as a base for other foods when protein from the cake is not the deciding factor. Compare its nutrition with any toppings separately rather than treating the finished snack as though all its protein came from the cake.
Start with the cake’s protein figures, then choose between a plain base and a seasoned snack. Allergen wording and opened-pack instructions can change which pack is practical for your week.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Protein in the cake | Read protein per 100g for a consistent comparison, then protein per cake for the portion you expect to eat. Tesco lists 26g per 100g and 1.8g per cake for Kallo Protein Lentil Cakes; Asda lists 8.5g and 0.6g respectively for Kallo’s lightly salted wholegrain rice cakes. | I want to know what the cake contributes before deciding whether to use a plain rice cake as a base or choose a lentil-based one. |
| Allergens and diet | Check the ingredients and the current pack’s precautionary allergen statement. Tesco lists possible sesame and soya for Kallo Protein Lentil Cakes; Kallo’s own listing also mentions milk. | Gluten-free or vegan wording matters to me, but I also need to check the separate allergen warning for the product I pick. |
| Flavour and recipe | Decide whether you need a base for toppings or a seasoned cake. Kallo lists 24g protein and 1.1g salt per 100g for its Sweet Chilli Veggie Cakes, which contain seasoning and rapeseed oil. | Some weeks I want a cake to pair with other foods; other weeks a ready-flavoured savoury snack is more convenient. |
| After opening | Read the storage directions on the exact pack. The cited Kallo Protein Lentil Cakes and lightly salted wholegrain rice cakes say to use them within 14 days of opening; the Sweet Chilli Veggie Cakes say five days. | If I open several packs during a weekly shop, I want to choose ones I can finish within their stated periods. |
The products can differ substantially: Tesco lists 26g protein per 100g for Kallo Protein Lentil Cakes, against Asda’s 8.5g per 100g for Kallo’s lightly salted wholegrain rice cakes.
