In today’s episode, we ask the question: How can we make the food industry more sustainable while also manufacturing protein and nutrient-dense products that can replace animal products? Our guest Sujala Balaji’s answer to this? Millets!
Sujala is the Founder and CEO of Rainfed Foods, a plant protein company creating next-generation plant-based alternatives. She is a certified food scientist with 15 years of experience in food innovation and product development, has taught in colleges and universities, and worked at start-ups and large multinational corporations in food manufacturing and research and development. In the interview, she tells us about her own journey of researching and developing plant-based alternatives and explains why millets as an underutilized crop are such a great option. (Fun Fact: The UN is celebrating 2023 as the International Year of Millets!)
