What is organic pea fiber?
Organic Pea Fiber is a plant-based, nutrient-dense ingredient derived from the hulls of Pisum sativum peas. With ≥85% total dietary fiber (70% insoluble, 15% soluble), this Organic Pea Fiber is a plant-based dietary fiber extracted from certified organic yellow or green peas (Pisum sativum). Through a water-based, chemical-free process, it retains natural soluble and insoluble fiber (≥85% total dietary fiber) while being low in calories and carbohydrates. Perfect for clean-label, gluten-free, and high-fiber food formulations.
Key Highlights
- Nutritional Powerhouse:
- Total Dietary Fiber: ≥85% (AOAC 985.29), with a 1:1 soluble/insoluble fiber ratio.
- Low Caloric Impact: 2 kcal/g (vs. 4 kcal/g for traditional fibers).
- Prebiotic Benefits: Supports gut microbiota balance.
- Clean & Versatile:
- Non-GMO, gluten-free, soy-free, and allergen-friendly.
- Neutral taste and odor; does not alter food flavors.
- Functional Superiority:
- High water-binding capacity (1:8 ratio) for improved texture and shelf life.
