What is Organic Pea Starch Powder?

Organic Pea Starch Powder is extracted from certified organic yellow peas (Pisum sativum) using a water-based process without chemical modification. This native starch features a high amylose content (35%) for superior gelling and binding properties. Non-GMO, allergen-free, and gluten-free certified, it serves as a clean-label alternative to corn or potato starches.

Key Highlights

High Amylose: 35% amylose enables strong gels and films
Clean-Label: Non-GMO, E-number-free, no chemical modification
Functional Versatility:
- Standard Grade: General thickening, dusting agent
- Functional Grade: Enhanced viscosity, freeze-thaw stability
Allergen-Safe: Gluten-free, nut-free, soy-free, non-allergenic

Key Features & Benefits

Superior Texturizing
- High Gel Strength: Forms firm, transparent gels (ideal for vegan cheeses)
- Freeze-Thaw Stability: Withstands 5+ cycles without syneresis
- Shear Resistance: Maintains viscosity in high-speed processing
Nutritional Advantages
- Low Glycemic Impact: Slow glucose release (GI 40 vs. corn starch GI 90)
- Resistant Starch: 5–8% RS3 content (prebiotic benefits)
Clean-Label Performance
- Replaces modified starches (e.g., E1412/E1420) in organic products
- Label declaration: “Organic pea starch”
Process Efficiency
- Cold-water swelling (functional grade)
- Reduces cooking time by 20% vs. native corn starch

Applications

Industry	Use Cases	Usage Level

FAQs

Q: Can pea starch replace cornstarch?

A: Yes! Use a 1:1 ratio for thickening, with superior clarity and heat resistance.

Q: Is pea starch keto-friendly?

A: Yes—it contains minimal digestible carbs (≤5g net carbs per 100g).

Q: Does it work in cold recipes?

A: Requires heating to fully gelatinize, but pre-gelatinized options are available.

Q: Is this product allergen-free?

A: Yes—free from gluten, soy, nuts, and dairy.

Q: Do you offer bulk pricing?

A: Yes! Competitive rates for 25kg+ orders. Contact us for quotes.
