Schouten Europe has expanded its falafel range with three new products aimed at the B2B segment, including retail, foodservice, QSR, and industrial applications. The new options include Falafel Harissa, Falafel Green Pea & Mint, and Falafel Beetroot, all based on pulses with unique flavor profiles and visual characteristics. These plant-based products are Nutri-Score A labeled and suitable for a variety of prepared food formats like wraps, bowls, and meal components.

Founded in 1990, Schouten is a pioneer in plant-based meat alternatives and supplies products to over 50 countries, mostly under private labels. Falafel has seen a surge in demand globally in recent years, prompting Schouten to develop new varieties to cater to the growing interest in plant-based options. According to Product Manager Annemiek Vervoort, these falafels offer a pulse-based foundation with distinct flavors, providing chefs, product developers, and consumers with innovative menu and concept possibilities for their businesses.
