Pea protein is a plant-based protein source. When it is labeled as "organic," it means that the peas used to produce the protein are grown and processed according to organic agricultural standards. These standards typically prohibit the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Benefits
- High in protein: Organic pea protein is a rich source of protein, providing essential amino acids necessary for various bodily functions such as building and repairing tissues.
- Suitable for vegetarians and vegans: As it is plant-based, it is an excellent alternative for those who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet.
- Digestible: Pea protein is generally easy to digest, making it a good option for people with sensitive digestive systems.
- Low in allergens: It is less likely to cause allergic reactions compared to some other protein sources like dairy or soy.
- Environmentally friendly: Organic farming practices used to produce pea protein are often more sustainable and have a lower environmental impact compared to conventional farming methods.
Uses
- Protein supplements: Organic pea protein powder is commonly used as a dietary supplement to increase protein intake. It can be added to smoothies, shakes, and baked goods.
- Food products: It is also used in the production of various food items such as plant-based meat alternatives, protein bars, and snacks.

Applications:
(1)Bake
Pea protein can improve flour quality, delay product aging, prolong shelf life. At the same time, the addition of pea protein can also increase the protein content of flour products. In addition, the taste of pea protein is neutral, almost no bean and raw bean flavor, little impact on the taste of products, so it can be used in the field of baking (such as cakes, etc.) food innovation.
(2) Meat products
Pea protein changes the excipients in traditional meat products, can reduce the serum cholesterol level, has the effect of weight loss. It can also significantly reduce the reaction of blood sugar after meals, and has the function of preventing diabetes and removing harmful substances in the body.
(3)Sports nutrition
Branched-chain amino acids are known to stimulate protein synthesis and play an important role in muscle formation (muscle contains more than 35% of branched-chain amino acids). About 20% of amino acids in pea protein are branched amino acids, which can provide essential branched amino acids for muscle synthesis. Therefore, it can be used in food innovation in the field of sports nutrition (such as protein bars, etc.).
