Protein Flakes Contents
General information about Protein Flakes
foodspring Protein Flakes are sourced from organic soy beans farmed in Germany and Austria. The soy for our Protein Flakes is grown exclusively on a family-run farm in the Lake Constance region and in the Burgenland region of Austria. They are then processed into our ultra fine Protein Flakes.
The climate and the very rich soil in the growing regions provide the ideal conditions for organic soy. On the family farm, every step in the production process is strictly controlled, from the seed to the finished protein flakes. That is how we can ensure that our organic Protein Flakes always have the highest quality. Chemical fertilisers and pesticides are not used.
Thanks to our careful processing methods, our Protein Flakes have an especially high protein content, but also around 80% less fat.
And what about the hormones in soy? There actually aren't any. Soy contains naturally occurring phytoestrogens. Contrary to popular belief, these are not hormones as such, but secondary phytochemicals that are similar in structure to the female hormone oestradiol 17ß, a type of oestrogen. There is no conclusive scientific evidence that a moderate consumption of soy has any impact on hormone levels. We are aware of these concerns and have come up with a great solution: As a precaution, we use a patented process to reduce the phytoestrogen content of our Protein Flakes by up to 90%.

Buying Protein Flakes online - what you need to look out for
Most Protein Flakes are based on soy flakes. But the source of the soy is often unclear. Genetic engineering is banned in the EU. It makes sense to ensure that the soy you are consuming is sustainable, that no rainforest was destroyed for its production and that you are getting a product that hasn’t been transported half way around the world. An organic label is also your guarantee of responsible processing and high quality.
foodspring Protein Flakes are sourced exclusively from soy grown in the Lake Constance region and Austria. The family farm where our soy is grown, is one of the pioneers of German organic soy cultivation.
What's more, conventional soy flakes are often very fatty and high in phytoestrogens. foodspring Protein Flakes are processed using a patented method and have 90% less phytoestrogen and 80% less fat.
Frequently Asked Questions
Have you every tried comparing apples and oranges? Exactly. You can’t. Sure, you will find our Protein Flakes into our porridges and mueslis as well. The Protein Flakes in our porridge and muesli bring together all the other ingredients, making them wonderfully creamy and perfect. And on their own? These flakes will add the ultimate protein kick to anything you like to eat.
You can. But would you eat oatmeal straight out of the pack? It tastes a bit boring. We recommend that you add Protein Flakes to your favourite dishes. That is easier than it sounds. Simply stir them in at the end of the cooking time. Or you could add them to a shake. Stir them into muesli. Or crumb your fillet with flakes instead of breadcrumbs. You can find our recipe ideas in the recommended use tab.
Our Protein Flakes have a whole 21 g of fibre per 100 g of flakes. Fibre is essential, because it makes your meals more satisfying and also keeps you feeling full for longer. Many foods, for example refined grain products, are highly processed and have a low fibre content. That is why you get hungry again so soon after eating. Our Protein Flakes are the perfect defence against cravings.
Soy contains naturally occurring phytoestrogens. Contrary to popular belief, these are not hormones as such, but secondary phytochemicals that are similar in structure to the female hormone estradiol 17ß, a form of oestrogen. There is no conclusive scientific evidence that a moderate consumption of soy has any impact on hormone levels. But we have still taken the precaution of naturally processing the soy flakes used for our Protein Flakes, so that the phytoestrogen content is reduced by 90%. Better safe than sorry, we say.
The answer is obvious: Yes! And if you want to try something new or make your favourite dish a little bit better, then you can find our favourite recipes for Protein Flakes in the recommended use tab.
In contrast to other manufacturers, we source our soy exclusively from a certified organic family farm in the Lake Constance region. That means that we can trace our soy every step of the way, and guarantee its origins 100%. Our Protein Flakes are very carefully defatted, so that they have a pleasantly mild flavour. And their high protein content is unaffected.
