What is organic pea fiber?
Organic Pea Fiber is derived from the hulls of certified organic yellow peas (Pisum sativum). This plant-based fiber combines soluble and insoluble fractions (85% min total dietary fiber) for superior functionality. Cold-milled to preserve nutrient integrity, it acts as a clean-label binder, texturizer, and fiber booster without GMOs, gluten, or major allergens.

FAQs
Q: What is the typical fiber content of your Organic Pea Fiber?
A: Our Organic Pea Fiber typically contains 60-80% dietary fiber on a dry basis, with customizable options available to meet specific formulation requirements.
Q: Is Organic Pea Fiber suitable for gluten-free products?
A: Yes, our Organic Pea Fiber is naturally gluten-free, making it an excellent choice for formulating products for consumers with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
Q: What’s the typical shelf life and recommended storage for bulk quantities?
A: Our Organic Pea Fiber 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, airtight packaging.
Q: How does Organic Pea Fiber compare to other fibers like oat or wheat fiber?
A: Organic Pea Fiber offers comparable functional benefits (e.g., water binding, bulking) to oat or wheat fiber, but with the added advantage of being naturally allergen-free (no gluten) and having a very neutral flavor profile, which provides greater versatility in formulations.
Q: Does Organic Pea Fiber impact the taste of finished products?
A: No, one of the key advantages of Organic Pea Fiber is its remarkably neutral taste and odor. It is designed to be easily incorporated into a wide range of food and beverage products without imparting strong off-notes or impacting the desired flavor profile.
