The second installment of “Minnesota’s Alt-Meat Revolution” will take a dive into the motivations behind PURIS, the largest processor of yellow pea protein in North America.
Dawson Mills was started as an early "value-added" cooperative and became a leader in plant-based protein ahead of its time. Today, PURIS is operating in the building first erected by Dawson Mills.
The West Central Tribune, Pioneer PBS and the WORLD Channel are collaborating on a year-long video and print journalism project looking into the roots and impact of the plant-protein phenomenon. The first episodes were published in March 2023.
