What it is

Pea crisp is a crunchy ingredient made from peas. The peas are typically processed, often by extrusion or baking, to create a light and crispy texture. This process helps to retain some of the nutritional value of the original pea.

Why it's used

Pea crisp is added to foods for its crunchy texture and mild, slightly sweet flavor. It is commonly used in snack bars, granola, chips, and baked goods to provide a satisfying bite. Manufacturers use it as a healthier alternative to other crunchy ingredients.

Health notes

Pea crisp is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of plant-based protein and fiber. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar pea-derived ingredients. Evidence suggests that typical consumption as part of a balanced diet is safe.
