Ardent Mills launches bakery replacement products
Ardent Mills, a premier flour-milling and ingredient company, has launched two new products, Ardent Mills Egg Replace and Ancient Grains Plus Baking Flour Blend. Ardent Mills developed Ardent Mills Egg Replace, a replacement for dried and liquid whole eggs that can provide long-term cost efficiency and supply stability. It is composed of four ingredients, including chickpea flour, and is designed for optimal taste, function, and ease of use in bakery applications. Additionally, the Ardent Mills Egg Replace is gluten-free, vegan and contains no major US food allergen or soy ingredients. Ancient Grains Plus Baking Flour Blend is blended from whole-food ancient grains and chickpeas to provide more quality protein than traditional flours. According to Ardent Mills, it simplifies baked goods innovations and reduces reliance on added protein ingredients while supporting finished-goods protein goals. Crafted with a mild flavour, Ancient Grains Plus Baking Flour Blend can be incorporated into a variety of bakery applications. It is plant-based and gluten-free and also contains no major US food allergens. Angie Goldberg, chief growth officer at Ardent Mills, said: "Ardent Mills is committed to delivering ingredients that bring value to the food life cycle, from production to consumption. Our latest products, Ardent Mills Egg Replace and Ancient Grains Plus Baking Flour Blend, underscore our commitment to being strategic partners with our customers by providing proactive solutions to industry challenges while simultaneously meeting consumer demand."
