Pulse Flour Market: Key Drivers and Trends
Pulse crops are a source of plant-based proteins and amino acids. Pulses contain around 55% to 65% of starch, 1% to 4% of fat, and 18% to 25% of essential amino acids. Governments have introduced various initiatives to promote pulse flour. The pulse crop health initiative (PHI) conducts research activities related to the health and nutritional benefits of pulse crops. Similarly, the pulse crop products program offers funds to purchase pulse crops and develop a delivery chain to introduce dry peas, lentils, chickpeas, and dry beans into school food programs. These programs create awareness about the benefit of pulses among consumers and will increase the consumption of pulse-related products.
Moreover, the rising demand for clean-taste flour, one of the key pulse flour market trends, will also drive market growth. Food manufacturers add clean-taste pulse flour in high-moisture applications such as dairy, yogurt, pudding, cheese, beverages, nutritional mixes, and smoothies. This helps food manufacturers meet nutritional and clean label trends. Moreover, clean-taste pulse flour are also used in baked food products, snacks, cereal, bars, pasta, batters, and breading applications. Such factors will drive market growth at a CAGR of about 15% by 2024.
