Pea Protein Isolate from Canada
Pea protein isolate is isolated from yellow peas via wet fractionation, resulting in a minimum 85-90% protein powder free of starch and fiber. It is categorized under HTS 3504.00.10.00 as a nesoi protein isolate, popular in plant-based vegan supplements and meat analogs due to its complete amino acid profile. The high purification level qualifies it distinctly from pea protein concentrates.
