Where Protein
Eats Better
Perhaps the biggest challenge: making high-protein products taste good. Plant proteins historically introduced off-flavors and gritty or dry textures. Many consumers still remember early plant-based protein bars as chalky or bland. That is why finding the right partner is critical.
Through decades of pea breeding and process optimization, PURIS has developed pea proteins with a very neutral flavor and smooth mouthfeel. The 6085 pea crisps, delivers protein with a light, crunchy bite and no detectable off-taste. This allows brands to add significant protein without sacrificing the indulgent taste or texture of snacks and cereals. PURIS’s ingredients often require little to no masking agents, which simplifies formulations and keeps the label clean.
Engineered for High-Protein Success
Achieving “good source of protein” or “excellent source of protein” claims (typically requiring 5–10g or 10g+ protein per serving, respectively) can be technically challenging. Simply adding protein powder can mess up dough consistency, extrusion behavior, or cause bars to crumble. Textured proteins need to withstand processes like baking or frying without breaking down.
The 6085 crisps are designed to withstand baking and mixing, maintaining integrity and crunch. They also have excellent dispersibility in batters and doughs. Whether it’s a crisp that can go through an extruder for a cereal cluster, or a crumble that hydrates quickly for a batter mix. This application support helps brands hit nutritional targets without endless trial-and-error.
Supply You Can
Count On
With the rapid growth in plant proteins, manufacturers worry about consistent supply and pricing. Some have been burned by supply disruptions or quality variability. PURIS is home to the largest pea protein plant in North America. With a vertically integrated system, we control the pea seed genetics, contract directly with growers, and process the peas in our own facilities. This ensures a stable, traceable supply chain.
This means reliable supply and mitigation of geopolitical or import risks. Brands partnering with PURIS can confidently scale national launches knowing their key protein ingredient is in good hands.
