New Solae “Nugget” Marries Soy, Grains

Soy specialist Solae (St. Louis) says that its new Supro Nugget 173 is the first soy protein nugget to combine protein and grains.

The nugget contains 60% soy protein and 40% multigrain such as rice, oat, and barley.

Solae says that it taste-tested the nugget concept on consumers. Consumers rated a multigrain protein bar containing Supro highly, giving the concept 7.3 out of 9 points.

Also known as soy crisps, soy protein nuggets can be used in nutrition bars for high protein content.

Solae also offers Supro Nugget 570, which comprises 90% protein-the highest soy protein-containing nugget on the market, according to the company.
