HOMECRAFT® Pulse flours

Harness the nutritional power of pulses

With an increasingly health-conscious population demanding more nutritious and high-protein foods with every bite, pulses deliver increased protein and fibre, plus other health benefits. 

Globally, meals and convenience meals, snacks, sauces and seasonings are experiencing an abundance of new launches of pulse-or legume-based food and drink products.1 Now you can tap into this trend using our new, innovative range of pulse flours.

HOMECRAFT® Pulse flours can boost the nutritional profile of your formulations and help you to meet increasing consumer demand for clean label, gluten-free, protein-enriched and vegan foods. Work with us to explore the opportunities.
