Protein supplements: Pea Protein is a high quality plant protein source, rich in essential amino acids and easily digested and absorbed. It is often used as a protein supplement and added to fitness and nutritional products such as protein powders, protein bars, protein drinks, etc. to meet the body's protein requirements.

Vegetarian and veggie products: Since pea protein is a plant-sourced protein, it is often used to make vegetarian and veggie products such as veggie meats, veggie sausages, veggie burgers, and veggie meatballs. Pea protein provides a rich source of protein with good texture and flavour.
Baked goods: Pea protein can be used as a protein source in baked goods. It can be added to baked goods such as breads, cakes and biscuits to increase protein content and improve texture and taste.
