Made of fermented fava beans, ingredient gives snack and bakery producers a sustainable solution.
Foodiq reports it developed a new ingredient for plant-based products. Fabea+, made of fermented fava beans, reportedly offers a nutritious, sustainable, and scalable alternative to other ingredients used in the plant-based market, such as soy, pea, or oats.
According to the company, it can be used in virtually any plant-based product, with no unwanted side flavors and zero trade-offs when it comes to taste or texture. Fava beans are usually only used as isolates and concentrates, but the fermented powder form reportedly makes a truly “tasteless” taste profile possible.
