Whole Dehydrated Yellow Pea

Whole dehydrated yellow pea is the entire yellow pea (Pisum sativum) that has had most of its water content removed through a drying process. This process preserves the pea and concentrates its nutrients. Yellow peas are a type of legume commonly grown in many parts of the world.

Manufacturers use whole dehydrated yellow pea as a source of plant-based protein and fiber. It can also function as a thickener or binder in food products. It is often found in processed foods like frozen appetizers, poultry products, and breaded items.

Whole dehydrated yellow pea is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of protein, fiber, and various micronutrients. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated peas and their components, generally considering them safe for consumption. Evidence suggests that including peas in the diet can contribute to overall health due to their nutrient profile.
