What is pea protein?

Pea Protein Isolate 2.0 from EssentialSeries is a powdered food preparation, with sweetener, available flavoured or unflavoured. It is made from plant-based protein isolate from pea protein.

This is a perfect option for people who cannot eat meat, dairy products or gluten because of their diet or intolerances.

The peas, which belong to the legume family, from which the protein found in HSN is obtained, come from the Pisum sativum plant.

In particular, garden peas contain a higher concentration of protein (20-25%) than snow peas (5%), making it easier to produce protein powder from something that is already rich in protein.
