Plant protein for Bakery, Bars & Snacks

While it may have started quite as a niche, in recent years the high protein trend has gone decidedly mainstream. No longer limited to nutrition bars, product developers are boosting the protein levels in everything from cereal to savory snacks. New protein ingredient options, led by improved pea protein options, are key to this growth.

The Cargill™ plant protein wide offering enables palate-pleasing, protein-rich baked goods. Cargill’s experienced bakery application team can help product developers navigate formulation challenges, using creative protein blends to achieve nutrition goals, help meet functional requirements and deliver on customers’ expectations.
