Yellow Pea Plant Protein

Our newest line of plant protein is a one-ingredient, sustainably grown premium pea protein option that is shelf stable and nutritious. It comes in a versatile crumble that is cost effective and quick and easy to prepare and use.

Benefits Of Pea Protein Ingredients

Allergen friendly - soy free, gluten free, non-GMO, plant-based, vegan, OU Kosher and Halal
2 year shelf life - takes up little space
Nutritious - high in protein, low carb, low fat and zero sugars
Versatile - neutral flavor profile and hearty texture
Cost effective - 3.5 oz of dry crumble + 12.5 oz of water = 1 lb of ground protein when hydrated

More volume equals better value - the rehydration of our pea protein is a 1:3.5 ratio - 1 part crumble to 3.5 part hot liquid (water, stock, broth, etc.). When adding liquid, the pea protein will increase by 5.33 times – which is the volume metric equivalent to ground turkey or beef.

Vegetarian Soy Protein

Soy is a very versatile ingredient that can be used as a replacement or extender for animal proteins in many of your existing recipes. These 100% vegetarian options improve nutritional value, offer high protein content, no cholesterol, and possess many of the desirable characteristics of meat proteins.

Soy ingredients are available in several sizes and flavors that can be used in a variety of applications depending on your needs. Below are three of the most common sizes:
