ChickP Protein Wins Top Prize for High-Protein Chickpea Snack in EU Innovation Project

ChickP Protein Ltd recently won the top prize for its high-protein chickpea snack in an EU Innovation Project in collaboration with Portugal’s Localnutleg. The innovative ChickP Puffs, made with 20% protein, stood out among 21 products and received high praise from 140 sensory evaluators across Europe. The global market for protein-enriched snacks is rapidly expanding, driven by increasing consumer demand for healthier, functional foods, with the total market share projected to exceed $10 billion by 2032.

As consumer interest in plant-based protein sources grows, chickpea protein from ChickP is becoming a popular choice for vegan, vegetarian, and flexitarian diets. Their isolates are versatile, non-GMO, allergen-free, and label-friendly proteins suitable for a variety of applications, making them a sought-after ingredient in the industry. ChickP will be showcasing their innovative products at the Food Ingredients Europe trade fair in Frankfurt, presenting their clean-label protein options to a global audience.
