Why whey?
Whey proteins have the highest biological value of natural proteins and are preferred by millions of consumers as the gold standard for nutritional comparison. They contain all of the essential amino acids and the highest levels of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) from a natural food source.

Compared to soy, rice and corn crisp, WPCrisps have all the advantages for healthy products. Soy crisp products that are high in protein often possess negative off flavors that must be masked. Rice and corn crisps are bland tasting, and don't contain enough protein to enhance nutritional value.
