Pea Protein Concentrate

Pea Protein Concentrate is a plant-based protein ingredient derived from yellow peas through mechanical and separation processes, resulting in a protein content typically ranging between 55–70%. It offers a balanced nutritional profile, good functional properties, and a clean-label, allergen-friendly alternative to traditional protein sources.

Known for its sustainability and compatibility with a wide range of formulations, pea protein concentrate is widely used in applications requiring protein enrichment, texture development, and plant-based positioning.
