Pulse-Based Snacks Continue To Grow In Popularity

April 18, 2022: 12:00 AM EST
Pulse-based snacks are gaining ground within the long-standing, grain-free snack market. Prominent examples include longstanding chickpea-based snack brand Hippeas and the UK’s new lu-based hummus brand Tarwi Foods. While there are multiple alternatives to wheat and rice such as cassava, nuts and root vegetables, pulses are gaining popularity due to its high nutritional value. Pulses contain high levels of protein and fibre and can reduce the fat content of formulations by bulking it out. Pulses also have the potential to improve the texture and shelf life of products. Therefore, pulses align well with health-focused consumers, especially those prioritizing more sustainable, plant-based protein. Despite their growing presence, pulse flours represented only 0.9% of the 2021 global flours market. However, the global pulse ingredients market is predicted to reach $3.06 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.2%. Peas are predicted to be the dominant pulse option for manufacturers in the future.
