What it is

Lentil protein is a plant-based protein derived from lentils, which are edible legumes. The protein is typically extracted from dried lentils through processes like grinding, washing, and drying to isolate the protein components.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add lentil protein as a source of plant-based protein and to improve the texture and nutritional profile of foods. It is often found in plant-based meat alternatives, protein bars, cereals, and baked goods.

Health notes

Lentil 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, and generally find them safe for consumption. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical dietary intakes.

Allergen info

Lentils are legumes, but they are not one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. Lentil protein is also gluten-free.
