What is Organic Pea Protein Powder?
Organic Pea Protein Powder is a premium, plant-based protein made from organic yellow peas (Pisum sativum). This high-quality protein is an excellent source of essential amino acids and is especially rich in branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), making it ideal for muscle recovery and growth. Pea protein is highly digestible and allergen-friendly, making it a great option for people with dietary restrictions such as vegan, gluten-free, or soy-free diets. It provides a clean, natural source of protein that supports a variety of applications, from protein shakes to vegan products and sports nutrition.
