"Pea protein (powder or flour) is now more mainstream as a nutritional beverage," said Gerrie Bouchard, CRC, director of marketing within the Wild Flavors and Specialty Ingredient business unit for Archer Daniels Midland, Decatur, Ga. It's a powerful source of protein to use in place of wheat flour or cornstarch, to use in baking and coatings. "I think there are absolutely lots of benefits from the cost perspective in using plant protein. There's also shelf stability, plus the cost of shipping, handling and manufacturing compared to very perishable animal protein," she said. Ms. Bouchard said the industry should expect additional protein sources to move into the mainstream including hemp powder, chia seed and flax seed. According to Bouchard: "If there's a market demand for it, we have the resources to bring the solution." * Advertorial The Highest Quality in Every Grain As the leader of the gourmet salt industry, SaltWorks® is truly passionate about salt.
