Cascadian Farm™ Introduces Granola Made with Organic Pea Protein
Maker of More Than 75 Organic Products Meets Consumer Demand for Alternative Protein Sources with Two New Granola Flavors
SEDRO-WOOLLEY, Wash., June 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumers are increasingly seeking protein from plant-based sources such as legumes, vegetables and nuts*, with pea protein emerging as a leading option. Cascadian Farm is redefining consumer expectations with a range of organic, plant-based pea protein products. Today, Cascadian Farm launched its new Protein Granola, the first organic pea-protein granola to come to market, in two flavors—Dark Chocolate Coconut and Apple Crisp – with 10 grams of protein. The brand previously introduced Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip and Honey Roasted Nut Protein Chewy Bars made with pea protein in January 2014.
