Protein has forever been a staple in the human diet and while history highlights animal based protein as a ‘superior’ source, change is in the air, or in fact in the earth…
As trends in food consumption focus more on healthy living and plant based diets, a spike in demand for plant based protein is undeniable. Along with being a complete protein source, it is cultivated in more environmentally sustainable conditions and holds more health benefits than animal protein. In cooking, plant protein powders or flours can be substituted for dry goods (with a little modification to the recipe) and are great for maintaining structure of the finished product.
Whether it be aiding digestion, dietary restrictions or reducing your carbon footprint, plant based protein is the way to go. Davis stock some of the best sources including quinoa, mung beans, pea protein, spirulina and soy protein – type any of these in our search bar to learn more.
