Pea Protein

Pea protein is a food product and protein supplement derived and extracted from yellow and green split peas, Pisum sativum1. It is a high-quality protein source that contains all the essential amino acids that the body cannot produce on its own2. Pea protein is a versatile ingredient that can be used in various food products, including nutrition products, bakery, beverages, and meat alternatives.Nutritional Content: Typically, peas contain 23.1–30.9% protein, 1.5–2.0% fat, and minor constituents such as vitamins, phytic acid, saponins, polyphenols, minerals, and oxalates. Pea protein is considered to be an almost complete protein, containing all the essential amino acids, except for low levels of cysteine and methionine.
Low Allergenicity: Pea protein is hypoallergenic and is less likely to cause allergic reactions compared to other protein sources such as soy and dairy.
