Protein fortification
The demand for protein is on the rise among consumers and now is the time to capitalize on this growing trend
Pulses are an incredibly rich source of protein. These nutritional powerhouses are also high in dietary fibre, rich in micronutrients, vegan and gluten-free.
With our plant-based proteins you can create protein fortified products with the required functionality for great taste and texture while boosting health appeal. What’s more, they’re a more sustainable choice than animal proteins. Using pulses in your products will help you to achieve success in key trends such as:
- Higher protein diets
- Allergen-free
- Gluten-free while improving structure and colour
- Vegetarian and vegan
- Clean label
