Alver Golden Bean: neutral in taste and healthy

The mung bean is interesting as a plant protein supplement because it is easy to digest and can be used for many familiar foods for which meat is traditionally the basis. In addition, it is characterized by long storage life. However, as described above, the use of mung beans requires some preparation: the dried, whole beans need to be soaked over night and then simmered for about 45 minutes before they can be used to prepare a healthy, digest, protein-rich salad, soup, curry, dip or humus.

Alver specializes in the production of protein-rich, vegan foods and protein isolates, including mung bean. Already fermented, washed, dried and offered in powder form, Golden Bean is the perfect ingredient for cooking, roasting, baking, mixing and shaking at home. Rich in fiber, potassium, magnesium, antioxidants and amino acids, Alver Golden Bean contains 85% protein. Neutral in taste, it can easily be added to any dish.

Alver products support vegans in their daily diet and help people who want to discover a plant-based nutrition for themselves. Due to the high protein content, Golden Bean is the ideal companion: it satiates without weighing down and reduces the need to snack between meals. The high percentage of zinc supports the immune system and the calcium it contains strengthens the bones. Mixing Golden Bean to food helps feeling satiated for longer and reduces the craving for snacks.
