As demand for sustainable and ethical food choices continues to rise, plant-based proteins play a pivotal role in providing nutrition while aligning with the values of health-conscious consumers and those concerned about the environmental impact of their food choices.
Though is it really possible to replace traditional go-to protein sources found in meat and dairy with plant based alternatives such a soy, wheat, fava or pea?
Put simply, yes. With even broader functionality than meat and dairy protein sources, in many cases the plant based alternative creates a far superior product.
We supply a wide range of innovative alternative proteins that are derived from non-traditional plant based protein sources, and each allowing for a diverse range of product application. Soy, wheat, hemp, fava, pea, and oat based protein ingredients are each available in several formats and to various specifications. More common applications include vegan bakery, dairy and milk alternatives, functional snacks and sports nutrition however protein ingredients are increasingly being used in meat and fish alternative categories to replace other more traditional artificial additives.
From texturised pea protein used as a highly effective meat replacement, to soy protein crisps for use in snack bars, and wheat protein perfect for bakery applications requiring a vegan clean label, it is possible to accurately select an alternative protein ingredient that satisfies your functional need no matter how complex.
