Pea Protein

As a leading protein ingredient supplier on the west coast, SPI Group gets a lot of calls for plant based proteins! Recently, we have especially had a lot of interest in pea protein, and are pleased to recommend pea protein isolate Pisane. Pea protein isolate meets the growing needs of manufacturers of high protein baked goods, including protein bars, granola bars, bread products and extruded crisps.

If you attended our recent snack seminar, you know that convenience is a key driver for healthy snacking! Many consumers are looking at bars for a healthy, convenient snack on the go- and we all know that “protein” is a key buzz word. In formulating bars, pea protein isolate can be a blended with other proteins such as soy or whey, or can be used as the sole protein source. Compared to other vegetables protein sources, Pisane has a very high level of BCAA: branched chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, valine). Amongst proteins, Pisane is also one of the best sources of lysine as well as a unique source of arginine.

We like Pisane because it is a non-genetically modified (GMO) ingredient, plus it has excellent digestibility.   We also love that it is gluten free!
