What it is
Organic pea flour is made from dried, ground organic peas. It is a gluten-free flour that retains many of the nutrients found in whole peas, including protein and fiber. The flour is typically produced by milling dried peas into a fine powder.
Why it's used
Pea flour is used as a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour in baked goods, pasta, and snacks. It can also be used as a thickener in soups and sauces, or as a protein and fiber enhancer in various food products. Its mild, slightly sweet flavor makes it versatile.
Health notes
Organic pea flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of plant-based protein and dietary fiber, which are beneficial components of a balanced diet. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated pea and pea-derived ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.
Allergen info
Peas are not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. Pea flour is naturally gluten-free.
