At a time when the quest for sustainable, hyper-protein food sources intensifies Canada's Wamame Foods is setting unprecedented protein claims benchmarks in the plant-based sector.

Wamame Foods has unveiled its Outlier Protein, boasting a protein content a staggering 64% higher than that of cooked ground beef. This innovative product is part of a growing movement towards what could be dubbed the "hyper-protein" era, with a protein composition claim of up to 41%.

This achievement not only represents a significant step forward in sustainable food production but also sets a new high-water mark in the plant-based protein sector.

The global race towards maximising protein content in plant-based foods, aims to meet growing consumer demand for products both environmentally friendly and nutritionally equivalent, or superior, to animal-based proteins. "We're entering an age where the quest for the ultimate protein source is not just a possibility but a reality," says Blair Bullus, President of Wamame Foods, highlighting the industry's ambition to push beyond current limitations.

As Wamame breaks new records, the question arises: how far can this race go? Could the industry someday reach a product that's 100% protein? While the feasibility of such an extreme remains under scientific scrutiny, the current trajectory suggests a future where plant-based proteins could meet or even exceed the nutritional efficiency of their animal counterparts along daily RDI's, without the harsh environmental drawbacks.

For consumers, this ongoing innovation means more than just additional options on supermarket shelves, it signifies a shift towards food choices offering maximum nutritional value without compromising on sustainability or taste. As companies like Wamame Foods dream of a hyper-protein future, it seems increasingly within human reach, promising a new era of dietary possibilities aligning with personal health, sustainability, and ethical consumption. More to come in this great Global Food Revolution!!
