What is it?

The dried peas used to make soup are the same peas pea protein is derived from. It is botanically a fruit treated as a vegetable. Pea pods are commonly green in colour, but they can also be yellow or purple sometimes depending on the variety. Inside, they contain several peas or seeds. Peas are a cool season crop and have a one year life cycle. One of the crops first cultivated by man, wild peas go as far back as the late Neolithic era in Egypt, Greece and middle Asia. This starchy vegetable has been a part of their diet, adding energy and fibre to their diet from as early as 3800 BC. Archeological findings of wild peas were also discovered in the mountains and plateaus of Ethiopia and Afghanistan. Because of the cultivation of peas about 5,000 years ago, the once nomadic tribes started to have a stable source of food. Travelers brought peas to the Mediterranean and the Far East, and thus the spread of peas throughout the world began.

What are its nutritional content and health benefits?

Often, people look at this leguminous vegetable as a cheap restaurant side dish or a poor man’s meat. At first glance, it might seem like it’s a bad thing, but it actually is not. It’s not often you would find a delicious vegetable that’s nutrient dense and affordable, too. Added to that are products made from peas such as organic pea protein powder which brings in a number of health benefits.

Human body's phosphorus, calcium and vitamin D need to be in balance to keep your bones healthy and strong. Having too much phosphorus in the blood may cause improper absorption of calcium from your bones and may cause the human body to become weak and unhealthy which gives higher risks of bone fractures and other problems.

Peas offer lots of protein, micronutrients and fibre. However, it is low in fat and calories. One cup of peas contains less than 100 calories which makes it a great supplement for people who are trying to shed off some pounds or are managing their weight.

Other pea protein powder benefits include boosting the immune system, regulating blood sugar, preventing heart disease, providing high energy, improving bowel health, strengthening the bones and lowering the levels of bad cholesterol in the body.

What makes our pea protein powder different?

There are a number of important factors why our pea protein powder is superior among the rest:
Our peas are grown in soils that are fertile and free of contaminants. They are irrigated with clean, fresh waters. No pesticides, herbicides or fungicides were used on the plants from the beginning of their growth and cultivation up to harvest time. We have soil certification and the approval of EU organic certification bodies to back up this claim.
Other pea products claim to have excellent quality but only because they have added artificial colours, flavours, sugar and preservatives to their powder. We are proud to say our organic pea protein powder is made from pure pea extract with nothing artificial added to it. This way, you will get the full nutritional value of peas without the negative effects of chemicals and preservatives.
Our organic pea protein powder has a high BCAA and is easily digestible—in fact, it has a 98 percent digestion rate. Compared to other protein sources like dairy and soy, our organic pea protein powder doesn’t irritate those with a sensitive stomach. It’s also a great choice for vegetarians.
Pea is better for the environment because it needs less water and virtually no fertilisers to raise and grow them compared to other crops. Two, peas work with soil bacteria and “returns” nitrogen to the soil. The remaining plant in the soil after harvest also breaks down easily to become a natural organic fertiliser.
