Restaurant & Catering
Scientists, governments, and consumers are asking restaurateurs and caterers to quickly adapt their menus to offer less animal- and more plant-based foods.
Sustainability & Plant-Based Foods
Chefs and consumers increasingly choose foods that reflect their commitment to a more sustainable lifestyle.
The growing acceptance of the health and environmental benefits of a more plant-based diet is fueling this imperative. Beans, lentils, chickpeas, and dry peas are highly nutritious foods that benefit the soil and the environment in numerous ways.
Healthy Plant-based Recipes
Pulses offer numerous ways to create nutritious, high-protein and gluten-free dishes with less or no animal-based ingredients.
- Swap part or all meat for pulses
- Create high-protein vegetarian dishes
- Increase your offer in gluten-free dishes
Pulses are a great way to add diversity to your menus, and are the perfect ally when developing special-diet alternatives to some of your staple dishes.
Affordability
As a versatile and non-allergenic source of plant-based protein, pulses offer professionals a wide array of solutions with which to create delicious, plant-centric menus while at the same time controlling costs.
They are nutrition-packed, low-cost ingredients that can help foodservice operators, restaurants, hotels, and caterers meet growing consumer demand for healthy, sustainable, delicious menu items while keeping control of costs.
