Israel’s InnovoPro launches first extruded base chickpea protein for alternative meat foods
The announcement coincides with the opening of a subsidiary and warehouse in Chicago to better reach the American market
The meat alternative market is estimated to reach almost $9 billion by the year 2027, according to Allied Market Research. Recent years are showing that the population, especially the young, are more eager to adopt ‘flexitarian’ diets that consist of consuming less meat and exploring plant-based alternatives to their favorite foods. According to the company, InnovoTex-TVP was created to close a gap that has appeared that focuses on nutritious non-allergenic ingredients that can match the taste and texture of meat.
