A single pizza with PlanetDairy Pizza Mix delivers protein from 25% of the recommended daily allowance of legumes!
Legumes (including beans, lentils and peas) are a vital part of the journey to reduce our dependence on animal proteins. Nutrient-dense, they contain 20-45% protein by dry weight and have been an important ingredient in our hybrid dairy solutions.
Unfortunately the latest annual consumption survey reveals that Danes consume barely 2-3 grams of legumes daily, compared to the Food Ministry’s recommendation of 100 daily grams. For the sake of our health and the climate, this must change.
In Denmark, we are a proud partner of The Legume Partnership (Bælgfrugtspartnerskabet) and committed to contributing to the important agenda of getting Danes to consume more legumes. Using PlanetDairy hybrid cheeses is a tasty and nutritious way to accomplish this.
If you’re not so familiar with legumes (or even if you are), you can learn more through this hit song released on February 2022. Created by four communication students from the Danish School of Media and Journalism in Aarhus, as part of an exam project, the song focuses on dietary advice and both asks and answers the questions: What the f**k is a legume? The video is in Danish, but easy enough to understand for non-Danish speakers.
