Not too long ago, “plant-based protein” was a niche term.
Today? It’s a $20 billion industry—expected to more than double by 2030.

Brands are racing to keep up.
Retailers are scouting new suppliers.
And health-conscious consumers?
They’re hungry for clean-label, sustainable, high-protein foods.

In the middle of all this movement…
One overlooked ingredient is quietly rising in popularity—ground peanuts.
Or as we call them proudly in India: groundnuts.

Now, you might be thinking:

“Aren’t peanuts just a snack?”
“Isn’t soy the king of plant protein?”
“Can groundnuts really compete in the modern protein market?”

Let’s walk through it—because once you understand the role groundnuts can play in your product or import portfolio, you’ll see why now is the time to look closer.

A Tiny Nut with Massive Potential

Here’s what most people don’t realize:

100 grams of peanuts = 25–30g of protein

That’s almost the same as chicken—but entirely plant-based.

They’re also rich in:

  • Healthy fats (great for heart health)

  • Magnesium, potassium, B-vitamins

  • Antioxidants and fiber

This makes them a complete food—ideal for health-focused buyers who are done with heavily processed protein powders and soy isolates.

And while peas, soy, and chickpeas dominate the headlines, groundnuts bring something unique to the table…

👉🏽 Taste. Texture. Affordability.

Whether you’re blending protein bars, formulating vegan milk, or creating clean-label snacks—groundnuts deliver nutrition with flavor, without breaking the bank.

Why Groundnuts Are Winning in the Plant Protein Space

Let’s break it down practically.

Today’s plant protein market is driven by three things:

1. Protein Content

Groundnuts offer comparable protein to soy, without the common allergen concerns that plague pea and soy formulations in some markets.

2. Sustainability

Peanuts are nitrogen-fixing crops—which means they naturally improve soil fertility. They also require less water than almonds or soy, giving brands a strong sustainability story.

3. Affordability

They’re widely grown in India, which means supply is strong, pricing is stable, and margins are healthier for importers and product developers.

For global food brands that want clean, local, and functional ingredients—this is the sweet spot.

From Fields in Gujarat to Shelves in Europe

Where the Opportunity Lies for Importers & Manufacturers

If you’re in the plant protein space—or want to enter it—groundnuts offer a strategic edge.

Here’s what we’re seeing globally:

  • Rising demand in Europe and Southeast Asia for non-soy plant proteins
  • Retail brands looking to localize protein blends with clean-label nuts
