Our newest line of plant protein is a one-ingredient, sustainably grown premium pea protein option that is shelf stable and nutritious. It comes in two sizes that are cost effective and quick and easy to prepare and use.
More volume equals better value - the rehydration of our pea protein is a 2:1 ratio - two part crumbles to one part hot liquid (water, stock, broth, etc.). When adding water, pea protein will increase by 5.33 times – which is the volume metric equivalent to ground turkey or beef. 22 lb of small crumble when rehydrated = volumetric equilvalent to 117.26 lb of animal protein
Soy is a very versatile ingredient that can be used as a replacement or extender for the animal proteins in many of your existing recipes. These 100% vegetarian options improve nutritional value, offer high protein content, no cholesterol, and possess many of the desirable characteristics of meat proteins.
Soy ingredients are available in several sizes and flavors that can be used in a variety of applications depending on your needs. Below are three of the most common sizes:
