A method for preparing a plurality of peptides, comprising:
- i) preparing plant material to provide an undigested plant homogenate;
- ii) separating the homogenate in i) to solid plant material and soluble plant material;
- iii) treating said soluble plant material to provide a concentrated soluble plant extract;
- and
- iv) digesting said concentrated plant extract with one or more proteases;
- or comprising:
- i) preparing plant material to provide a plant homogenate combined with one or more proteases to form a combined plant/protease homogenate;
- ii) incubating the combined homogenate to form a protease digested homogenate;
- and optionally
- iii) separating the protease digested plant homogenate from the undigested plant homogenate.
