What it is

Yellow pea protein isolate is a plant-based protein powder made from yellow split peas. The peas are processed to remove most of their fat and carbohydrates, leaving a concentrated source of protein. It is often used as a dietary supplement and a food ingredient.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use yellow pea protein isolate primarily as a protein source in foods and beverages. It is common in protein powders, meal replacement shakes, and plant-based meat alternatives. Its neutral flavor and good solubility make it versatile for adding protein without significantly altering taste or texture.

Health notes

Yellow pea protein isolate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a good source of amino acids and can contribute to meeting daily protein needs. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various protein sources, and pea protein is widely consumed. Research suggests it can support muscle growth and satiety, similar to other protein sources.

Allergen info

Yellow pea protein isolate is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It is also naturally gluten-free.
