With plant-based diets, protein and healthy snacking as three burgeoning trends in the food and beverage industry, DuPont Nutrition & Health has launched an ideal solution for manufacturers of snacks, cereals, nutrition bars, toppings and more.
Six new plant protein nuggets from its Supro and Trupro product range offer options that feature more protein or less sodium than previous offerings, in a broader array of formats and textures. Plant protein ‘nuggets’ or ‘crisps’ are extruded ingredients that are commonly used in nutrition bars, snacks and cereals to increase protein content while delivering crispy, crunchy texture.
“These new nuggets broaden our range of plant protein options that drive high protein content and unique textures,” said Jean Heggie, strategic marketing lead. “Our plant-based nuggets help manufacturers differentiate their brands with improved nutritional profiles and exceptional eating experiences.”
