Protein enrichment
Capitalise on the growing demand for protein
The demand for protein is on the rise among consumers and now is the time to capitalise on this growing trend.
Pulses, including dried peas, beans, lentils and chickpeas, 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 range of plant-based proteins and flours, you can add protein and fibre to cereals and snack foods, replace costly eggs in baked goods and extend texture in meat products, 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
How adding protein can improve your products
Consumers are continuously on the look-out for alternative sources of protein to satisfy demand for healthier choices alongside their taste for exciting recipes. Powering your products with protein lets you deliver innovative formulations that build greater consumer appeal and product differentiation, while providing labels with higher nutritional value and on-trend vegetarian and vegan claims.
