Affordable biscuit for protein-deficient diets
High-protein chickpeas and quinoa are well suited to regions where drought regularly occurs. These local climate-resilient crops provide the base for our affordable biscuit concept.
Starting with the Ethiopian market, our application team has developed a recipe that takes local raw materials, processing equipment and consumer preferences into account. The goal is to enable the production of a convenient biscuit for the low-income consumer segment where malnutrition is a recurring challenge.
Chickpeas and quinoa provide an excellent starting point for boosting a protein-deficient diet. However, these protein sources do not deliver the complete package of essential amino acids.
Our biscuit concept includes whey proteins to optimise the amino acid content.
Extensive trials have fine-tuned the recipe for a low added sugar, protein-enriched biscuit that can serve as a delicious and nutritious supplement in the daily diet.
