What is Organic pea starch?
Organic Pea Starch Powder is a high-purity, gluten-free starch extracted from certified organic yellow peas (Pisum sativum). With exceptional binding, thickening, and gelling properties, it serves as a versatile alternative to corn or potato starch in clean-label food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic formulations.
