Faba-tein™ Fava Bean Protein
Faba-tein™ Fava Bean Protein
High-Protein Plant Nutrition with Clean Flavor and Functional Performance
Faba-tein™ Fava Bean Protein is a highly functional plant protein isolate delivering approximately 90% protein content with a clean flavor profile and versatile formulation performance. Produced from premium fava beans – also known as broad beans – Faba-tein™ supports food and beverage applications requiring high protein levels, clean-label appeal, and strong functional characteristics.
Naturally rich in plant protein and essential nutrients, fava beans provide a balanced nutritional profile containing all 9 essential amino acids along with naturally occurring fiber, folate, manganese, copper, and other micronutrients. Faba-tein™ offers a mild flavor profile that helps minimize the earthy or bitter notes commonly associated with many plant proteins, making it well suited for a wide range of plant-based applications.
Beyond protein fortification, Faba-tein™ contributes valuable functional benefits including water-binding, emulsification, and gel-forming properties that help support texture, moisture retention, structural integrity, and mouthfeel in high-protein formulations.
Its unique functional profile makes Faba-tein™ especially well suited for plant-based meat analogs, where it can help support fibrous texture development, bite characteristics, and overall product stability.
