Dietary Fibre is an essential component of your diet. It helps keep your digestive system healthy, increases the good bacteria in your gut, and can even reduce the risk of certain diseases. The recommended daily fibre intake for adults is approximately 25 grams for women, and 38 grams for men, per day. For a more in depth look at the reasons you need to be getting enough fibre in your diet, why not take a gander at our previous article Why is Fibre Important? To make life easier, and make sure you’re hitting your RDA for fibre, we’ve compiled a handy list of some high fibre foods. They’re not just great sources of fibre, but also healthy, tasty, and satisfying – so without further ado, let’s get on with the list! Nuts First up on the list, is the small but mighty nut! Not only are nuts nutritional powerhouses, they’re an excellent supply of fibre too. Pine nuts, pistachios, hazelnuts, and pecans are all great choices when it comes to upping your daily fibre. However, almonds are the clear winner when it comes to the highest fibre content. Fibre content: Almonds – Approx. 13.3 grams per 100 grams Popcorn If you’re looking to increase your fibre intake, then popcorn just might be one of the best snacks you can choose to munch on. Plain, air-popped popcorn is extremely high in fibre, calorie for calorie. Just remember, if you add a lot of sugar, or fat, such as oil, to your popcorn, the fibre-to-calorie ratio will be considerably lower. Fibre content: Approx. 14 grams per 100 grams Chia Seeds If you haven’t heard about chia seeds yet – let us introduce you! Chia seeds are tiny black seeds that are becoming increasingly popular and may just be one of the best fibre sources on the planet. They are often referred to as a superfood due to their exceptionally high nutritional value, containing high amounts of magnesium, phosphorus, and calcium. Head over to our recipe page to find a wide range of Chia seed recipes from Blueberry Jam to Banana Muffins – delicious! Fibre content: Approx. 34.4 grams per 100 grams Beans Not only are beans a great source of plant protein, making them a great meat alternative, they are also an excellent way to get more fibre in your diet. Black beans, pinto beans, mung beans and aduki beans are all great choices for upping your fibre intake. However, haricot beans take the crown as the highest fibre bean in town. Fibre content: Haricot Beans - Approx. 8 grams per 100 grams Apples You’ve probably heard the saying ‘An apple a day, keeps the doctor away’. Turns out, there could be a lot of truth to that. Many fruits are filled with fibre, but apples, especially with the skin on, are the perfect pick for increasing your fibre intake. Plus, they count as one of your five a day! Fibre content: Approx. 2.4 grams per 100 grams, or 4.4 grams in a medium-sized apple. Lentils Looking for a cheap, simple, and nutritious food source? Well, look no further than lentils! Along with being high in fibre, they’re also as high in protein and loaded with many important nutrients. Lentils are an easy addition to your diet, add them to soups, stews, curries, salads and even desserts! Fibre content: 13.1 grams per cup of cooked lentils, or 7.3 grams per 100 grams Sweet Potatoes Are you a sweet potato lover? If so, we have good news for you! Sweet potatoes are bountiful in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and of course, fibre. Not to mention, they provide a wide range of health benefits and are a simple, and delicious, addition to your diet. Fibre content: Approx. 2.5 grams per 100 grams or 3.8 grams for a medium-sized boiled sweet Chickpeas Another type of legume that’s loaded with not just healthy fibre, but also vitamins, minerals, and plant protein is chickpeas. Easily included in your diet, they can be used in many different recipes. Chickpeas are also the main ingredient of hummus, which is a simple spread you can make yourself. Fibre content: 12.5 grams per cup of cooked chickpeas, or 7.6 per 100 grams Berries Berries get a lot of attention for their antioxidants, but they’re filled with healthy fibre too. Raspberries are a particularly rich source, but blackberries, strawberries, and blueberries are also a great choice for increasing your fibre intake. Another one of the biggest benefits of eating berries is that they’re also naturally low in calories. Sounds like a win-win to us! Fibre content: Raspberries - Approx. 7 grams per 100 grams Quinoa Quinoa is a pseudo-cereal that is an excellent source of plant protein, along with being high in fibre. It has many other health benefits and is packed full of other nutrients including, zinc, iron, magnesium, potassium, and antioxidants. Fibre content: Approx. 3 grams per 100 grams

Here at Wholefood Earth, we believe that no question is a silly question. For anyone wanting to know if there is any difference between soy and soya then we have the answer you seek! The short but sweet answer is NO – Soy and Soya are exactly the same thing. Both terms mainly refer to the bean (from which all soya products originate) which can also be called a soybean or soya bean. However, the only real difference is in the spelling. It tends to be referred to more as soy in the US, while here in Europe it is more widely known as soya. No wonder it can get confusing! But we’re happy to set the record straight 😊 So now you have your answer, how about finding out Why Soya is a Great Meat Substitute?

Did you know that soya is the cheapest and most widely eaten supply of plant protein on the planet? Soya is an excellent source of protein, providing all nine of the essential amino acids we need for growth, repair and functions like immunity. It is also low in saturated fats and rich in fibre, it contains vital fatty acids plus a wide range of important vitamins and minerals. Plus, dishes that use soy as a substitute for meat often have fewer calories and less fat. No wonder soya is a perfect meat replacement for vegetarians, vegans or anyone wanting a healthier alternative, or to eat more sustainably! What is Soya? Soya foods are made from the soya bean plant, which is native to China, it’s been a staple part of Asian diets for many years and is becoming increasingly popular in the UK. The beans extremely versatile texture makes it easy to be processed into a variety of foods including milk, soya protein, plus fermented foods such as tofu, miso and tempeh. But we’re here today to talk to you about the wonderful world of soya meat replacements! You may have heard soya meat substitutes referred to in many ways - Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP), Textured Soy Protein (TSP), Soya chunks and sometimes Soy meat. They are made the same way, from defatted soya flour which is created by removing the oil from the soybeans. The soybeans are ground into a fine flour, mixed with water, and then moulded into the preferred form - usually either mince or chunks. As your one stop shop for organic wholefoods, we currently sell a range of soya products for you to peruse. Let’s take you through the main types of meat substitutes, and the best ways to use them - TVP/Soya Mince Soya Mince, also known as textured vegetable protein (TVP) or textured soy protein (TSP), has been textured and shaped to resemble mince, or ground beef. TVP was created back in the 1960s by Archer Daniels Midland, a multinational American company, who still hold the trademark name for the product today. Soya mince can come unflavoured or flavoured, but it’s generally seasoned and coloured so that the look and taste is similar to that of mince beef. Due to soya mince being a dehydrated product, it needs to be soaked in hot water or broth for around 10 minutes (depending on the amount) for it to become appetizing. Being an immensely versatile food, soya mince can be used in any recipe that calls for mince or any other type of ground meat. This makes it the perfect meat replacement to make classic favourites such as spaghetti Bolognese, chilli con carne, cottage pie, lasagne or even tacos! Soya Chunks Soya Chunks are another version or TVP or TSP, the soy is just moulded into bigger cubes or chunks – hence the name. Much like the mince, the soya chunks will need to be soaked before using. As with all soya products, they’re pretty much flavourless so tend to take on the flavour and taste of whatever they’re cooked with making them incredibly adaptable. Given their bigger size, they’re a great meat alternative in curries, stir fries, stews, pies and salads, or how about adding a batter and turning them into a vegan version of popcorn chicken! Soya chunks boast numerous health benefits, it can enable quicker muscle building and may aid in a faster metabolism. Soya is full of polyunsaturated fats, proteins and omega 3 fatty acids. They are rich in calcium and iron while containing no extra sodium or sugar, additionally, they’re lower in calories and fat than meat. Soya chunks are packed with fibre, which promotes food passing more slowly through the system and keeping you fuller for longer, whilst aiding digestive health.

High-protein has moved from the gym bag to the menu board. Customers want protein in their muffins, their morning oats, their grab-and-go bars, and they want it without dairy. If you run a bakery, a cafe, or a food production line, a good plant protein powder is a simple way to add that without reworking your whole recipe book. Here are five single-ingredient, organic powders, what each one does in real food, and how to buy them in volume. What to look for in a baking protein Three things matter once you start cooking with protein powder rather than just shaking it in water. Density tells you how much actual protein you are adding per gram, which matters when you are making a nutrition claim on a label. Flavour decides whether the powder disappears into the recipe or takes it over. And behaviour in the bowl matters most of all, because protein powder absorbs liquid and changes texture, so you usually swap it in for a portion of the flour rather than adding it on top. A safe starting point is to replace 10 to 20 percent of the flour by weight, then add a little extra liquid or fat to keep the crumb soft. Test, taste, adjust. 1. Organic Pea Protein, 85 percent The workhorse for food production. At 85 percent protein it lets you make a strong nutrition claim with the smallest amount of powder, and its neutral, slightly earthy flavour blends into both sweet and savoury formulas. It is the natural base for high-protein breads, bars and even plant-based meat alternatives. Because it is so concentrated, go gently on the substitution rate and watch your hydration, as it will dry a mix out faster than the lower-density seed proteins. 2. Organic Rice Protein, 80 percent Smooth, fine and mildly sweet, brown rice protein has a soft texture that suits lighter, fruitier bakes and works well in cafe smoothies and overnight oats. On its own it is a little low in lysine, but paired with pea protein it gives a complete amino acid profile, which is the trick for vegan products that need to stand up nutritionally. Easy to digest, which is a selling point worth putting on the menu. 3. Organic Pumpkin Seed Protein, 60 percent This one brings character. Cold milled from pumpkin seeds, it has a deep, nutty flavour that shines in darker, heartier products, think seeded loaves, savoury muffins, chocolate or banana bakes, and energy balls. It also carries natural iron, magnesium and zinc, so it adds genuine nutritional depth you can talk about, not just a protein number. 4. Organic Hemp Seed Protein, 50 percent A complete protein in a single ingredient, with all nine essential amino acids, plus fibre and plant-based omega-3 and omega-6. The earthy, nutty taste is made for rustic, wholesome ranges, wholegrain loaves, flapjacks, oat bakes. Lower density than the isolates, so it is more of a wholefood addition than a pure protein hit, which suits a craft or artisan positioning. 5. Organic Sunflower Seed Protein, 50 percent The allergen-friendly all-rounder. Free from nuts, soya, dairy and gluten, it is the safe choice for schools, nurseries, and any venue catering to allergies. The mild, smooth flavour blends into almost anything, from breads and flapjacks to protein bars, which makes it the most flexible powder here for a broad menu. The formulator's trick: pea plus rice Pea protein is high in lysine but lower in methionine. Brown rice protein is the reverse. Combine them, roughly two parts pea to one part rice, and you get a complete amino acid profile comparable to whey. For any vegan product where you want to claim quality protein, this blend is the industry-standard answer. Menu and product ideas For cafes: protein-boosted overnight oats and porridge, smoothies and shakes, energy balls and protein bites by the till, and a higher-protein muffin or banana bread in the cabinet. For bakeries: seeded protein loaves, flapjacks, protein cookies and bars. For producers: high-protein snack formulations, breakfast products, and plant-based meat alternatives where pea protein does the heavy lifting. Buying in bulk All five are available from 250g pouches for recipe testing right up to bulk sacks for production, so you can trial a product before you commit to volume. Bulk pricing as a guide: Pea and Rice protein in 20kg sacks from around £305 to £317, and Pumpkin, Hemp and Sunflower in 25kg sacks from around £359 to £415. That works out to a low cost per gram of protein, especially for the high-density pea and rice options. Get in touch for trade and wholesale enquiries. Whether you want maximum protein with a neutral taste (pea), a soft texture for lighter bakes (rice), a nutty mineral boost (pumpkin), a wholefood complete protein (hemp), or an allergen-free all-rounder (sunflower), there is a powder here to build a menu around. All five are certified organic and single ingredient, which keeps your own ingredient list clean and your story simple. Always test recipes at scale and check each product's specification and allergen information before using it in commercial production.

Plant protein used to be the option people settled for. That's changed. The five powders we've just added are single ingredient, organic, and some of them hit protein levels that go toe to toe with whey. If you lift, run, or just want to recover better without using dairy, this is a lineup worth a look. Here they are, from the highest protein content to the lowest, plus how to actually use them after a workout. Why the protein percentage matters When you finish a hard session, your muscles need amino acids to repair, and the branched-chain ones (leucine, isoleucine, valine) do a lot of the heavy lifting. The percentage on the label tells you how much protein you get per gram of powder. An 85 percent powder gives you about 21g of protein from a single 25g scoop, so you reach your target with fewer carbs and less filler. If you count your macros around training, that number is the one to watch. The quick version Pea Protein, 85 percent — around 21g per 25g scoop, from £7.49 for 250g. Best if you want maximum protein and BCAAs. Rice Protein, 80 percent — around 20g, from £7.65. Easiest on the stomach. Pumpkin Seed Protein, 60 percent — around 15g, from £7.03. Comes with iron, magnesium and zinc. Hemp Seed Protein, 50 percent — around 12.5g, from £7.01. A complete protein with added omega fats. Sunflower Seed Protein, 50 percent — around 12.5g, from £7.49. Free from the common allergens. 1. Organic Pea Protein, 85 percent This is pressed from peas and nothing else, and it gives you roughly 21g of protein in a 25g serving, which is about as high as plant protein gets. It's naturally high in BCAAs, so it does its job on the recovery side, and the flavour is neutral enough to vanish into a shake or a batch of pancakes. It's easy to digest, certified organic, vegan, gluten free and soya free. If you only buy one, buy this one. 2. Organic Rice Protein, 80 percent Made from sprouted brown rice, this is one of the gentlest plant proteins going, so it's a good call if other powders leave you feeling bloated. It's 80 percent protein with a mild, slightly sweet taste that works well in fruitier shakes. On its own it's a little low in lysine, which is exactly why it pairs so well with pea protein. More on that below. 3. Organic Pumpkin Seed Protein, 60 percent Cold milled from pumpkin seeds, this one does more than protein. Each serving brings iron, magnesium and zinc, minerals that active people tend to run short on and that help with energy and muscle function. The flavour is deep and nutty, which makes it a natural fit for chocolate or banana smoothies. 4. Organic Hemp Seed Protein, 50 percent Hemp is one of the few plant proteins that's complete on its own, with all nine essential amino acids in a single ingredient. The protein content is lower than the isolates at 50 percent, but you also get fibre plus plant based omega-3 and omega-6 fats that most powders skip. It's earthy and filling, and it makes a solid all round recovery shake. 5. Organic Sunflower Seed Protein, 50 percent If your household deals with allergies, this is the safe choice. It's free from nuts, soya, dairy and gluten, with a mild flavour that blends into pretty much anything, plus some natural magnesium and selenium. The most flexible option of the five for everyday use. Combine pea and rice Pea protein is high in lysine but lower in methionine. Brown rice protein is the other way round. Mix them and you get a full amino acid profile that holds up against whey, which is why a lot of vegan athletes use this combo. Two scoops of pea to one of rice in your post workout shake covers it, no dairy needed. How to use them for recovery Have 25 to 50g, so one or two scoops, within an hour of training, mixed with water or a plant milk. If you're building muscle, aim for somewhere around 1.6 to 2.2g of protein per kilo of bodyweight across the day and use these to fill the gaps between meals. Pair pea with rice for a complete profile, or just use hemp if you want one powder that does it all. They also work stirred into porridge or baked into bars and muffins, not only in shakes. Great price for our Club members Whether you're after the most protein per scoop, the easiest digestion, a mineral top up, or an allergen free option, there's something here. All five are organic, single ingredient, and sold in sizes from a 250g pouch up to bulk sacks, so you can train hard and keep it plant based. Check the label on each product for full nutrition info, and speak to a healthcare professional if you have specific dietary needs or allergies.
