Tara

Westec Inc. was founded in 1987, by a small team of agricultural experts in California, whose knowledge spans agriculture, machinery, and project development.  We are a leading export distributor to nations across the Middle East and Africa, of non-GMO and hybrid seeds, along with the latest U.S.-based farming technology.

Collectively, our team has worked on many projects around the world, including ventures in Russia, the Middle East, North Africa, South America, and the United States.  Westec holds a unique position in the agricultural industry, which stems from the huge net we cast over all aspects of agronomy, coupled with our many partners and experienced professionals.

Tara Plant Protein is one of the newest plant-based proteins on the market offering a high concentration of both protein and fiber, combined with a complete protein profile, all while being allergen-free, non-GMO, non-chemically processed, gluten-free, sustainably farmed, and available in organic form! 

Tara Plant Protein not only supplies approximately 47% pure, plant-based, nutrient-dense protein; but it also contains a whopping 16 amino acids—including all nine of the essential amino acids.  Modern society will be happy to know that Tara Plant Protein, both in organic-certified and convention forms, is gluten-free, has no additives or preservatives, is non-GMO, is non-chemically processed, is vegan, is Kosher and Halal, delivers about 15 grams of dietary fiber in every 100 grams of powder, contains antioxidants such as gallic acid, and is neither a tree nut nor a derivative.

The applications for Tara in our modern life-style cover a lot of ground, from maintaining healthy functionality through dietary supplementation, to anti-oxidation, and immune and respiratory support, to weight loss and weight management.

Thanks to the diminutive Tara tree, local Peruvian farmers have a promising future.  As demand grows world-wide for the various sustainably-grown products of Tara, production will continue to rise, thereby further enhancing the quality of life for the people in the region—it is a positive cycle!

The main advantage bolstering hope for Tara gum, tannin, and protein powder is that it is natural and minimally processed.  As the benefits of Tara become more widely known and understood, it will emerge as an attractive alternative to similar, chemically-based, often hazardous, more expensive products.

Tara Plant Protein exhibits a neutral to nutty flavor and has a fine, flour-like texture.  These characteristics lend it well to applications in industries such as:

Baking, i.e. cookies
Pasta-making
Confectionery, i.e. chocolates
Nutritional bars
Snack foods
Meat substitutes
