What is Pea Protein?
If you’re considering adding pea protein powder to a packaged good, supplement or beverage, you’re not alone. Pea protein powder has grown in popularity in recent years as a way to significantly boost protein content without adding unhealthy fat or carbs. Consumers love these benefits – plus the essential amino acids pea protein provides. Its nutritional profile makes it an excellent choice for food makers who aim to meet diverse dietary needs.
From Sweet Treats to Savory Dishes to Baked Goods
The secret to getting the best performance from pea protein powder is all in the blend. Our pea protein is made to deliver remarkable functional properties, such as solubility and emulsification, so the powder easily incorporates into foods and beverages without affecting the taste, texture, or mouthfeel. The protein’s ability to stabilize foams and enhance viscosity adds to its manufacturing ease and can add body to soups and sauces.
