What it is

Pea protein is a supplement made from yellow split peas. It is a plant-based source of protein, which are the building blocks the body uses to repair and grow tissues.

Why it's used

It is primarily used by people who want to increase their daily protein intake without eating meat or dairy. It is often chosen by those with allergies to soy or gluten, as it is naturally free from both.

How it compares to Plant Protein

Pea protein is a specific type of plant protein. While the broader category of plant proteins can include many different sources, pea protein has a specific nutritional profile.

Amino AcidsHigh in branched-chain amino acidsOften blended to create a complete profile

How it's made

The process begins by milling yellow split peas into a coarse flour. This flour is mixed with water and an alkaline solution, which is a substance that reduces acidity, to help separate the protein from the starch. The mixture is then filtered and dried into a fine powder, which is then sifted to ensure a consistent texture for capsules or shakes.

What it typically costs

This supplement is generally mid-range in price. This is because the raw peas are relatively inexpensive to grow in large quantities, but the industrial process required to isolate the protein from the starch and fibre adds to the final cost.
