Rethinking pulses: The revolutionary approach starts from pulses

MartinoRossi leads in plant-based ingredients, offering innovative solutions. From roasted pulses flours to plant-based and allergen-free mixes, they meet the most innovative market trends.

The plant-based market has gone from a mere trend to a worldwide reality. Consumers are more and more aware of environmental issues, health, and animal welfare, and this has increasingly driven food companies to invest in more sustainable technologies, and to explore new plant-based alternatives that meet these needs. Once confined to a niche market, plant-based is now widespread and it is adopted not only by those following a vegan or vegetarian diet but also by flexitarians - individuals including plant-based alternatives into their varied and balanced diets.

Despite growing popularity, the plant-based market faces challenges such as the presence of gluten, soy, or other allergens in finished products, and a lack of vertically integrated supply chains for ingredients and raw materials.

MartinoRossi is a leading Italian food company focused on the production of flours, semi-finished products and functional ingredients from cereals and pulses from both conventional and organic farming, 100% gluten-free, allergen-free and GMO-free. It is now the supplier of choice of the best-known international food companies with innovative products that are always up to the new market trends. It has recently enhanced its R&D activity to develop high innovative food solutions, creating four new plant-based ingredients from legumes in the past few months, supporting food companies that are looking for innovative plant-based solutions.

Roasted pulses flours (HTS):

Roasting process allows for a significant improvement of the raw material taste. This gives a “toasted” flavour to the flours and to the derived finished products, opening the opportunity of using pulses flours in non-traditional preparations, like sweet spreadable creams, cookies, pastry products, baked goods or vegetable creams and drinks. In general, roasted flours are ideal for food solutions where a good protein level is needed, while giving a nutty flavour to the final product.
