The natural alternative to meat and dairy 

When it comes to meat and dairy alternatives, SEEDPRO® is the plant-based protein ingredient you just can’t do without. Extracted from the carob seed through a 100% chemical-free production process, it represents the clean-label future of protein innovation.

This light-yellow, free-flowing powder is a versatile carob protein, suitable for gluten-free meals, plant-based diets, bakery products, energy bars, and a wide range of vegan applications. Recognized as both a vegan protein powder and an allergen-friendly protein, SEEDPRO® delivers nutrition without compromise.

Beyond its nutritional value, SEEDPRO® functions as a hydrocolloid compatible protein with emulsifying power, making it an effective stabilizing protein ingredient for dairy alternatives and other formulations.

SEEDPRO® is also available as a certified organic option, offering manufacturers a sustainable and allergen-free choice for tomorrow’s food industry.

The carob pod, the complete fruit of the carob tree, is harvested once a year at the end of summer. On average, each pod contains ten seeds, which are separated from the pulp using a mechanical process.

The carob seed undergoes a thermo-mechanical dehusking process that is entirely chemical-free. Following this, the endosperm is gently separated from the germ (protein) and the episperm (fiber) through moderate crushing.

SEEDPRO – our high-quality carob protein is crafted with care to preserve the seed’s natural integrity and nutritional value.
