Raw Organic Protein Blend: Organic Pea Protein

Pea protein is a plant-based protein derived from yellow split peas. The peas are dried, milled into flour, and then processed to separate the protein from the carbohydrates and fiber. It is a common ingredient in plant-based food products.

Pea protein is added to foods to increase their protein content. It is often found in protein powders, meal replacement shakes, and plant-based meat alternatives. Its neutral flavor and good solubility make it versatile for various food applications.

Pea protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a good source of essential amino acids, particularly branched-chain amino acids, which are important for muscle growth and repair. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated protein sources, and they are considered safe when consumed as part of a balanced diet. There are no widespread controversies regarding its consumption at typical intake levels.
