Colleen Kavanagh is here with the latest Food Gossip! Wondering why our beloved Pure Plant Protein Powder has been out of stock?
Watch the video to hear the full update, including why it took longer than expected and how we found a new supplier that meets our strict sourcing and purity standards.
ZEGO’s Pure Plant Protein Powder is Coming Back! Here’s Why It Took So Long
When our original supplier, who worked directly with farmers, had to close their business, we knew finding a replacement wouldn’t be easy. ZEGO’s whole food Pure Plant Protein Powder is made from 100% sacha inchi. This nutrient-dense seed is naturally high in protein and has the best balance of all 9 essential amino acids compared to pea, rice, soy, and hemp. It’s also easily digestible, making it a fantastic choice for those looking for a clean, plant-based protein source.
But not all sacha inchi protein is created equal. Many versions on the market have a strong, bitter taste and gritty texture—qualities we knew wouldn’t meet ZEGO’s high standards. After months of searching, we finally found a handful of suppliers whose protein met our taste and texture requirements.
Purity Matters
Of course, taste and texture weren’t the only hurdles. At ZEGO, we go beyond organic. We test for 500+ pesticides and heavy metals, ensuring our plant-based protein powder is as clean as possible. Unfortunately, most of the samples we tested failed our lab’s heavy metal screenings—some by a shocking amount.
But we finally found one that meets our purity standards. We’re thrilled to bring ZEGO’s Pure Plant Protein Powder back to you in April (maybe even sooner!).
