What it is
A pea protein blend is made from dried, ground peas. The protein is typically extracted from the peas using water or alcohol to separate it from the fiber and starch. The resulting protein powder is then often blended with other ingredients to improve its texture and flavor.
Why it's used
Pea protein blends are often used as a plant-based protein source in foods like yogurt alternatives, milk alternatives, and sour cream alternatives. Manufacturers add them to boost the protein content of products and to provide a creamy texture.
Health notes
Pea protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a good source of amino acids, particularly branched-chain amino acids. JECFA has evaluated pea protein and established an acceptable daily intake. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming pea protein at typical dietary levels.
Allergen info
Peas are not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. Pea protein blends are also gluten-free.
