Bean-Based Salad Dressings

The Tru Flavors Bean Dressings are Made with a Base of Navy Beans

— January 24, 2018 — Lifestyle
The popularity of legumes has created a rise in products made with a base of protein-rich pulses, including everything from pastas to bean dressings. Tru Flavors has a collection of the latter, offering a variety of squeezable pouches in standout varieties like Blood Orange Poppy Seed and Ginger Scallion Lemongrass.

These navy bean-based salad dressings from the brand were shown off at the Winter Fancy Food Show, introducing a convenient way for consumers to fortify their meals with added protein and fiber. These on-the-go salad dressing pouches are ideal for the busy consumer, as they do not need to be refrigerated until opening.

While there are many bean-based dips on the market, there is a growing demand for plant-based protein that is being satisfied by brands that are reformulating familiar products for a flavor-packed, better-for-you approach.
