Organic Pea Starch

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.

Key Highlights

1. Functional Superiority:
   • High Viscosity & Stability: Forms clear gels with excellent freeze-thaw resistance.
   • Neutral Taste & Odor: Ideal for delicate flavors in soups, sauces, and baked goods.
2. Clean & Sustainable:
   • USDA/EU Organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, and allergen-free (no soy, nuts, dairy).
   • Low carbon footprint – derived from regenerative pea farming.
3. Technical Excellence:
   • Cold-Water Swelling: No pre-gelatinization required for instant thickening.
   • Heat Tolerance: Stable up to 90°C (194°F) in acidic environments.
