The properties of textured fava beans protein

Textured fava beans protein is an important product in the distribution of functional food ingredients; it is used due to its pure protein content, which is around 50% of the total weight. The neutral flavor, on which it is possible to make both sweet and savory flavorings, and the very versatile consistency depending on the manufacturing process, allow for a very varied use.
