About Pea protein

Pea protein is a plant-based protein powder derived from yellow split peas, offering a nutrient-dense alternative to animal proteins. Rich in essential amino acids, particularly branched-chain amino acids, it supports muscle growth and recovery. It is naturally free from dairy, gluten, and soy, making it ideal for those with dietary restrictions or allergies. Pea protein is high in iron and easy to digest, often featured in vegan and vegetarian diets. With origins in sustainable agricultural practices, it aligns with eco-conscious lifestyles. However, it may lack certain amino acids like methionine, which can be balanced by combining it with other protein sources such as rice protein. Its mild, earthy flavor makes it versatile for smoothies, baked goods, and savory dishes. Whether fueling workouts or complementing daily nutrition, pea protein delivers plant-based health benefits without compromising on quality.
