What it is

Hydrated pea protein blend is made from dried peas. The peas are processed to isolate the protein, which is then hydrated (mixed with water). This process creates a versatile ingredient often used as a meat alternative.

Manufacturers use hydrated pea protein blend to provide a protein source and create a meat-like texture in plant-based foods. It is commonly found in vegetarian and vegan meat alternatives like burgers, patties, and grounds, as well as in some frozen meals and entrees.

Health notes

Hydrated pea protein blend is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a good source of protein and amino acids. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated pea protein. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

Pea protein is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
