Organic Performance Protein Blend: Organic Pea Protein

Organic pea protein is a plant-based protein powder made from dried yellow peas. The peas are milled into flour, then processed to separate the protein from the carbohydrates and fiber. The resulting protein powder is often used as a dietary supplement.

Manufacturers add pea protein to foods and beverages to boost their protein content. It is commonly found in protein powders, meal replacement shakes, and energy bars. Its neutral flavor and smooth texture make it a versatile ingredient.

Organic pea protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a good source of amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. While generally considered safe, some individuals may experience mild digestive discomfort. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated pea protein, and it is widely used in the food supply.
