Texturized Pea Protein – Cooking
Our Textured Pea Protein is allergen free and are non-GMO which makes them a great alternative to soy and wheat products. Additionally, their natural glutamic acid content offers a taste that makes it particularly well suited for meat-based and culinary applications.
Soy and or Meat alternative
Can be used to formulate vegan alternatives to traditional processed soy or meat products such as patties, meatballs, nuggets etc. Because of their elastic texture and high-water retention, our Texturized pea proteins can be easily moulded into various shapes and forms. They can be cooked by various processes i.e. grilled, microwaved. The resulting finished products are juicy yet firm.
Environment Friendly
Our Texturized pea proteins are more sustainable and have a lower environmental impact than many other protein sources. They are allergen free, are highly soluble, and exhibit excellent emulsifying properties. Texturized pea proteins are non-GMO, cholesterol-free, and highly digestible.
Protein concentrates are produced in a dry mechanical process without the use of water and chemicals, which means that the rich content of natural nutrients is maintained.
The best results are obtained if the dry products are immersed in cold water with a content of at least 1% salt. Product must be drained when full hydration is obtained. The recommended hydration time is 40 minutes before cooking.

Process for the production of Texturized Pea Protein
The process is pure dry mechanical without the use of water or chemicals.
1) The peas and beans are shelled as the beans are separated from the shell.
2) The beans are ground to a fine powder.
3) With an air centrifuge, the flour is separated into two parts: – a) protein part of flour (55% -60%) and – b) starch-rich powder.
4) Texturisation of flour protein part (shape determined by the tube nozzle and flour protein concentration).
The product may have a label / sticker in English.
