Plant-based organic protein “Orgain” from the United States has arrived in Japan!

Due to the influence of many events such as the ``demand for staying at home'' due to the coronavirus pandemic, the recent health boom, and the muscle training boom, ``protein intake is now common sense for men and women of all ages, even if you are not an athlete or bodybuilder.'' It has become widely recognized. However, on the other hand, it is still not fully understood how much protein should be consumed per day.

Although the necessity of protein is becoming widely recognized, there is another important requirement for future protein products. The quality must be reliable. One of the important points is that it is an organic product that has obtained organic JAS certification. Globally, sales of organic foods are steadily increasing, and although Japan still lags behind the organically developed countries, it is clear that Japan is riding on this trend.

Organic protein products, which are made using organic manufacturing methods and do not rely on pesticides or chemical fertilizers, are expected to become increasingly sought after in Japan.

In recent years, the necessity and importance of proteins has become increasingly recognized. Daily intake of carefully selected proteins is an important issue for men and women of all ages who live busy modern lives. In the past, protein products were associated with the consumption of people with special needs, such as athletes and bodybuilders, but as awareness of protein has evolved, they are now becoming a daily necessity.

Meanwhile, new demand for protein products is emerging. That is plant-based protein or organic protein. In 2009, in response to the voices of people who said, ``I want to eat carefully selected foods because I eat them many times every day,'' and ``I want to have a protein content that is comparable to animal protein even if it is plant-based.''
