Pulse-Based Snack Pellets

Pulse-based snack pellets offer a route to differentiated puffed formats, but the finished product still depends on how the controlled pellet expands under the selected process. Raw-material choice can change nutrition, colour and density, making comparative puffing trials essential.

What can we help you achieve?

• Market differentiation
  A distinctive combination of performance and product story gives snacks a clearer premium position.

Our Recommended Ingredient Solution

• PisumPEARL
  This ingredient can provide protein fortification and fibre and nutrition enhancer in this formulation. This pea-based pearl route combines puffing with pulse-derived nutrition; organic pea-pearl grades are also present in the Ebro portfolio.

• LensPEARL
  It supports the same validated formulation objective(s), but it brings a different ingredient profile. Unlike CicerPEARL, the standard LensPEARL route is made from red lentil flour, creating a distinct lentil-based puffed format.

• CicerPEARL
  It supports the same validated formulation objective(s), but it brings a different ingredient profile. This pearl is made from chickpea and rice flour, offering a chickpea-led puffing route rather than the red-lentil or pea alternatives.

Of course no two formulations are alike and your best choice may also depend on factors beyond pure functionality. Let us help you find the ingredient solutions that best fit your application, with specifications, samples and recipe support when available.
