Organic Pea Protein

Organic pea protein is a plant-based protein powder made from dried yellow peas. The peas are milled into flour, and then the protein is separated from the carbohydrates and fiber. It is a common ingredient in plant-based foods and supplements.

Manufacturers use pea protein as a source of protein and to improve the texture of foods. It is often found in plant-based milk alternatives, protein bars, meat substitutes, and baked goods.

Pea protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a good source of amino acids and is often used by individuals seeking plant-based protein options. JECFA has evaluated pea protein and established an acceptable daily intake. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.
