As sustainability becomes a priority, pea flour’s eco-friendly profile enhances its market appeal, fostering innovation in product development and driving growth across multiple sectors, including food processing, dietary supplements, and plant-based products.
For instance, according to USA dry pea & lentil council, every 10 grams or ¼ cup of pea flour hikes both protein and dietary fiber by a hefty 2.5 grams. That same ¼ cup also delivers 8 grams of natural, high quality all-vegetable protein. Rich in lysine, with twice the protein (22.8%), pea flour has an amino acid profile that complements cereal grains. This nutrient density attracts not only individuals seeking plant-based diets but also manufacturers aiming to fortify their products.
As the demand for functional foods and clean-label ingredients rises, the recognition of pea flour's health benefits drives its adoption in various applications, including baked goods, snacks, and meal replacements. Consequently, this awareness is expected to propel the growth of the pea flour industry, attracting investments and innovation in product development.
