About Broad bean protein

Broad bean protein is a protein ingredient derived from broad beans, also called fava beans. The name does not specify the extraction or separation process, the protein concentration, or whether the ingredient is a flour, concentrate, isolate, or blend.

It may be incorporated into formulated foods to contribute protein or structure. It is often supplied as a dry ingredient, but appearance, flavour, and texture depend on processing. The product label is needed to establish the exact form and any additional ingredients.
