Vestkorn Faba Protein food

VESTKORN FABA PROTEIN food

Vestkorn´s faba protein is a natural native protein with a unique high protein content of 65%. This ingredient offers an excellent amino acid profile, similar to our pea protein. The higher protein content compared to pea protein can make it an easier fit in formulations or when replacing soy protein in recipes. Faba protein is a clean label ingredient (EU) and removes allergenic and sustainability issues as well as concerns about GMO that you may have when using soy ingredients. This protein has a light greyish colour.

The carbon footprint of faba protein is 80–90% lower compared to dairy proteins per kg protein according to the report “Carbon footprint and land use of oat and faba bean protein concentrate using a life cycle assessment approach” by Hannele Heusala, Natural Resources Institute Finland and others.
