Create plant-based snacks with healthy appeal

Differentiate with non-GMO, gluten-free flours, concentrates and isolates

Consumers want more than great taste and crunch in extruded crisps and snacks. They also want to feel good about their snacks — and seek healthier choices that are high in protein, fiber and micronutrients.1

How can you enhance the nutrition and label appeal of crisps and snacks?

With Ingredion's portfolio isolates, now success is in the bag. Sustainably sourced from on-trend plants such as peas, these plant proteins enable you to deliver unique flavors, clean labels and winning nutritional benefits, while enjoying functional benefits in formulation.
