What it is

Peas are small, round, starchy vegetables that grow in pods. Organic peas are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. They are typically harvested and then dried or processed into flour or protein isolates.

Why it's used

Pea protein isolate is often used as a plant-based protein source in foods like protein powders, bars, and meat alternatives. It can also act as a binder or thickener in some products.

Health notes

Pea protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a good source of amino acids and dietary fiber. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated pea protein and its components. Some studies suggest pea protein may support muscle growth and satiety, but more research is needed to fully understand its long-term health effects.

Allergen info

Peas are not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
