The invention has an object of providing a granular plant-based protein material with a high protein content, which is softer and easier to eat than conventional materials.The inventors discovered that, when producing granular plant-based protein materials, by adding a specific emulsifier to the raw materials and performing extrusion molding using a twin screw extruder or the like, a granular plant-based protein material which not only had a high protein content, but was also soft upon absorbing water and easy to eat could be obtained, thereby achieving the above object.本發明之課題為提供蛋白質含量多的粒狀植物性蛋白質素材,其比起以往更柔軟、容易食用。本案發明發現:在製造粒狀植物性蛋白質素材時,藉由於原材料中添加特定乳化劑並利用雙軸擠製機等進行擠製成形,即使蛋白質含量多,仍能獲得吸水時柔軟、容易食用的粒狀植物性蛋白質素材,而解決了課題。
