What it is

Pea protein isolate and pea protein are derived from dried peas. The process typically involves removing the fibrous hull and starchy components, leaving behind a concentrated protein powder. It's a plant-based protein source.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use pea protein as a plant-based protein source in foods like meat alternatives, protein bars, and shakes. It can also act as a binder or emulsifier in some products, helping to hold ingredients together and improve texture. It is often found in deli salads, pickles, and dips.

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, which are important for muscle health. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated pea protein. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intakes.

Allergen info

Pea protein is not derived from any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It is also gluten-free.
