What it is

Pea hull fiber is a type of dietary fiber derived from the outer layer of peas. It is produced by processing peas to separate the hull, which is then typically dried and milled into a powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add pea hull fiber to foods to increase the fiber content and improve texture. It can act as a bulking agent and may help with moisture retention. It is commonly found in baked goods, snacks, and some meat products.

Health notes

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 when consumed as part of a balanced diet. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated various food fibers, and EFSA has assessed fiber's role in health. Evidence suggests that increased dietary fiber intake is associated with positive health outcomes, though specific health claims require careful review.

Allergen info

Pea hull fiber is not derived from one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It is also gluten-free.
