IN PROTEIN

Healthier. Safer. Greener.

ChickP offers a qualitative shift in plant-based proteins

The first neutral-taste Chickpea protein:

  • • Concentrate – 70-85% protein
  • • Isolate – 90% protein

Our Story

With the rising interest in super foods and healthy eating, comes a steady decline in consumption of animal-based foods (meat or dairy). The growing concern for sustainability, as well as the desire for clean labels and allergens-free foods, create a heavy demand on a healthy and diverse plant-based proteins that can replace meat and dairy without compromising nutrition and taste.

 

That’s where science and design come in.

Our team of experts has devised a way to extract up to 90% pure protein out of the Chickpea seed. The ChickP protein is unique by its neutral taste, enabling the production of an endless list of applications including meat and dairy-like foods, beverages, pastries, snacks, cereals and more.

Our Mission

To offer the most delicious and finest-quality chickpea protein to the food industry- up to 90% neutral-taste protein, which is allergen, gluten, and GM-free.
