What it is

Faba bean protein is a plant-based protein derived from faba beans, also known as broad beans. The protein is typically extracted from the beans through a process that separates the protein from other components like carbohydrates and fiber.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add faba bean protein to foods to boost the protein content and improve texture. It is often found in plant-based meat alternatives, protein bars, baked goods, and dairy-free products like yogurt.

Health notes

Faba bean protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of essential amino acids and dietary fiber. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated proteins from legumes, but no specific numeric limits are typically set for faba bean protein itself. Research suggests plant proteins can be part of a healthy diet.

Allergen info

Faba beans are not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
