High-Protein Legume Pastas

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Explore Asian Gluten-Free Bean Pasta is Packed with Protein

— June 17, 2016 — Lifestyle
The high-protein diet is showing little sign of slowing down in popularity, so the Explore Asian Gluten-Free Bean Pasta is intended to be a delicious alternative for consumers. Made using nothing but beans and water, the pasta comes in such options as spaghetti and fettuccine that's made with organic black beans, organic edamame, organic adzuki and more.

Because the pasta is made with beans, the product is high in protein, much lower in carbohydrates than wheat-based pastas and is a nutritious source of fiber. The Explore Asian Gluten-Free Bean Pastas come in several individual bags and take roughly five to six minutes to cook. Contrary to what one might thinks, the pasta is never gummy or sticky and can work in replacement to traditional pasta with ease.
Trend Themes
1. High-protein Diets - Creating innovative high-protein food products allows companies to capitalize on the ongoing popularity of high-protein diets.
2. Gluten-free Alternatives - Developing gluten-free pasta options made from legumes provides a disruptive innovation opportunity for the gluten-free food industry.
3. Sustainable Food Production - Exploring the use of legumes to create pasta products offers an opportunity to promote sustainable and plant-based food production.
Industry Implications
1. Health and Wellness - The increasing demand for high-protein food options aligns with the growth of the health and wellness industry.
2. Gluten-free Foods - The gluten-free food industry can leverage legume-based pasta as a disruptive innovation to expand their product offerings.
3. Plant-based Foods - The exploration of legumes as a main ingredient in pasta products aligns with the trend towards plant-based food consumption.
