Grit-Free Pea Protein Sources

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Merit Functional Foods Introduces 'Peazazz C' Plant-Based Protein

— July 26, 2022 — Lifestyle
Merit Functional Foods has claimed that its new pea protein ingredient dubbed ‘Peazazz C’ is a smoother, less chunky alternative to other plant-based protein options, even in higher concentrations. The company also claims that ‘Peazazz’ can be used in other protein formats, including protein bars, dairy alternatives, and ready-to-mix protein powders.

The alternative is supposed to “support low sodium claims in high-protein applications,” and offers consumers a healthier choice when selecting plant proteins. The company hopes that ‘Peazazz C’ can provide a solution to the problem of grittiness in ready-to-drink plant beverages.

Merit Functional Foods also claims that it has an advantage in the plant-based protein industry due to its chain of suppliers being in close proximity to each other. For more information on 'Peazazz C,' consumers can visit Merit's website.
