Fava Bean Proteins

Fava bean, a nutrient-dense legume has emerged as a transformative protein source for pet food. They are a source of dietary fibre, protein and starch, as well as vitamin C, folates, calcium, phosphorous, iron and zinc – nutrients that are crucial for supporting overall pet health and well-being. Fava beans stand out for their remarkable environmental sustainability, requiring significantly less water, fertiliser, and pesticides compared to traditional protein sources. Fava bean flour is an excellent grain-free replacement for flour in your pet food formulations.
