What it is

Pea protein powder is made from dried yellow peas. The peas are processed to remove their skins and starch, leaving behind a protein-rich powder. It's a popular plant-based protein source.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add pea protein powder to boost the protein content of foods. It's commonly found in protein powders, bars, and plant-based meat alternatives. It can also act as a binder or emulsifier in some products.

Health notes

Pea protein powder 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 growth and repair. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated protein sources. Research on the specific health impacts of pea protein powder at typical consumption levels is ongoing, but it is generally considered safe and beneficial for those seeking to increase protein intake.

Allergen info

Pea protein powder is not derived from one of the nine FDA major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
