Faba bean protein | Egg reduction/replacement, dairy-free or plant-based protein
Our faba bean protein is a versatile and sustainable ingredient for a wide range of applications, from dairy alternatives and bakery items to plant-based chocolate, sauces, and more. Clean label and sustainably sourced from within the EU (Germany), our faba bean protein concentrate offers an excellent essential amino acid profile and is naturally high in protein, making it an ideal alternative to soy and animal proteins. Whether you’re looking to enrich your products with plant-based protein or looking for egg-reduction, faba is the ideal ingredient for your product developments.
During FiE, we are introducing our heat-treated range. This offers improved functionality for specific applications. Come speak with us to find out more about the any possibilities of this range addition.
