Description
Pea protein, a versatile plant-based protein, has a rich history dating back to ancient civilizations. Its use can be traced to the Mediterranean region where peas were first cultivated over 8,000 years ago. Initially consumed for sustenance, peas gained popularity due to their high nutritional value and ease of cultivation. Over time, agricultural advancements allowed for the mass production of peas and extraction of their protein-rich components. The emergence of the health and fitness industry in the 20th century propelled pea protein to the forefront as an alternative to animal-based proteins, making it a popular choice for vegetarians, vegans, and those with dairy or soy allergies*.
