Innovation of the Year Award 2021

Recognized for the innovative use of the green bean’s protein potential. The Green Bean currently manufactures plant-based feta, camembert and yoghurt using an extracted plant protein. The resulting green-tinted products are a true conversation starter, but still serve as a reminder that this dairy alternative has a positive environmental impact on soil quality.
