FAQs
Q: What is the typical protein percentage of your Organic Chickpea Protein?
A: Our Organic Chickpea Protein typically contains between 55-60% protein (dry basis). Exact percentages are provided on the Certificate of Analysis for each batch.
Q: Is Organic Chickpea Protein a complete protein?
A: While chickpeas are rich in most essential amino acids, they are relatively lower in methionine. For a “complete” amino acid profile in a single product, it can be ideally combined with other plant proteins like rice protein to create a balanced blend.
Q: Is your Organic Chickpea Protein suitable for gluten-free and vegan products?
A: Absolutely. Our Organic Chickpea Protein is inherently gluten-free and 100% plant-based, making it perfectly suited for both vegan and gluten-free product formulations.
Q: How does the flavor profile of Organic Chickpea Protein compare to other plant proteins like pea or soy?
A: Organic Chickpea Protein is known for its relatively neutral and mild, slightly earthy flavor, often less “beany” than some pea proteins and without the characteristic taste of soy protein, making it highly versatile for flavor-sensitive applications.
Q: What is the shelf life and recommended storage for bulk quantities?
A: Our Organic Chickpea Protein typically has a shelf life of 24 months from the manufacturing date when stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, in its original sealed packaging. Specific bulk storage recommendations will be provided with your order documentation.
