Organic Pea Hull Fiber

Organic pea hull fiber is a dietary fiber derived from the outer layer (hull) of organic peas. It is produced by processing the pea hulls to isolate and purify the fiber content.

Manufacturers add organic pea hull fiber to foods as a source of dietary fiber, often to improve the nutritional profile. It can also function as a texturizer or bulking agent. It is commonly found in snacks, bars, and baked goods.

Organic pea hull fiber is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. As a fiber, it can contribute to digestive health. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various food fibers, but specific evaluations for pea hull fiber may vary. Evidence generally supports the role of dietary fiber in a balanced diet.
