Within the broader agri-food sector, lentil protein exists as a niche but rising component of the plant-based protein market, which itself is a part of the larger fruit and vegetable industry. Lentil protein is derived from lentils, edible seeds from the legume family, which are cultivated and consumed around the world for their nutritional benefits. As a protein source, lentils are increasingly processed to extract their protein for use in various food products, catering to the growing demand for plant-based diets and sustainable protein alternatives. This aligns with a heightened consumer interest in health and wellness, as well as environmental considerations, which influence the fruit and vegetable market trends. The lentil protein market is diversified across several applications, from meat substitutes to protein bars, shakes, and other health-focused food products. Lentil protein is appreciated for its high protein content, dietary fiber, and essential amino acids, which make it a valuable ingredient for manufacturers aiming to enrich their products with plant-based proteins. Some companies active in the lentil protein market include Ingredion Incorporated, Puris Proteins, LLC, BI Nutraceuticals, and ADM (Archer Daniels Midland Company).
