One of the newest plant-based alternatives comes from the mountains of Peru — the Tara tree/shrub (Cesalpina spinosa).
This small, thorny leguminous plant produces pea-style pods containing seeds. Tara gum or Peruvian carob, as it is known, is transformed into usable protein by finely grinding these seeds into powder, which can range from white to yellowish in color.
