Plant proteins
Pulse proteins — a force of nature
The future is plant-based, and pulses are leading the way. Pulse ingredients can enable cleaner labels and consumer-preferred claims that differentiate your products and strengthen their appeal.
By ensuring consistent quality and reliable performance, we're making pulse flours and pulse proteins easy to work with - so you can deliver products that score high in consumer-preferred taste, texture, and appearance.
The power of pulses
- Sourced from peas, faba beans, lentils and chickpeas
- Plant-based, consumer-friendly labelling - Non-GMO, gluten-free, and clean label
- Nutrition (protein, fibre, micronutrients) - enables plant protein content claims
- Sustainable - grown and manufactured using a solvent-free process
- Allergen friendly - does not require an allergen label
