The beginning of each Alpro Soya product…

The base of each product made by Alpro soya are of course the soybeans! Soybeans are also named ‘the meat of the soil’, thanks to their richness of proteins and their nutritional benefits. The ones used by Alpro, are principally the “yellow beans”, because they contain proteins of the best quality. These plants grow in a hot and humid climate during a period of 100 to 200 days. They reach a height of 80 cm and have little white and purple flowers, whose pods are containing 1 to 4 soybeans. The company gets its soybeans supply from farms in China, the south of Brasil, Canada and Hungary . None of the beans come from land which was cleared from the Rainforest (like the Amazon), which is an important fact for the sustainable development policy of Alpro!
