Cambridge Commodities has launched the ProEarth range of vegan proteins to meet increased demand for plant based protein ingredients.

The range consists of black bean, almond, cranberry, buckwheat, hemp, pumpkin seed and quinoa powders with protein content ranging from 20% to 80%.

Extracted from superfoods, the proteins are clean label, often allergen-free and easily digestible due to their fibre content. Plant protein sources can provide a full profile of amino acids and omega-3 fatty acids, connecting with key drivers of health conscious consumers.

Emma Cattell, research and development nutritionist at Cambridge Commodities, comments, "The ProEarth range is the next generation of vegan proteins, beyond the traditional soy, pea and rice.

"Vegan proteins have a host of other benefits in addition to protein, including being rich in vitamins and minerals, more natural, less processed, environmentally friendly and ethical."
