What it is
Pea protein is a plant-based protein derived from yellow split peas. The peas are milled into flour, and then the protein is isolated from the carbohydrates and fiber through various processes, such as wet or dry processing.
Why it's used
Pea protein is used as a protein source in foods like protein bars, shakes, and meat alternatives. It can also act as a binder or emulsifier, helping to hold ingredients together and improve texture in products such as baked goods and dairy-free products.
Health notes
Pea protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a good source of amino acids and is often used to boost the protein content of foods. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated pea protein. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Pea protein is not derived from one of the nine FDA major allergens. It is also naturally gluten-free.
