Roquette is launching a new line of organic pea ingredients, including organic pea starch and organic pea protein. The ingredients are produced at the company’s plant in Portage la Prairie, Man., and feature peas sourced in a network of organic growers from Canada.
While pulse proteins have gained prominence, there’s plenty of protein power and health benefits to be found in nuts as well. Blue Diamond, for example, offers almond flour, protein powder, inclusions and butter that can each provide unique benefits to a formulation.
The deli is already a trusted source for convenience and delicious options. With simple callouts, the department can also highlight the health elements consumers already have on their radar.
Two companies at the Specialty Food Association, Inc.’s annual Summer Fancy Food Show use pea protein as a main ingredient in their new plant-based products.
