1.Is Pea A High Protein Food?

The biological value (BV) of pea protein is 48% ~ 64%, and the efficacy ratio (PER) is 0.6-1.2, which is higher than soybean. The reason why the nutritional value of pea protein cannot be fully exerted is that it is poorly digestible. Pea seeds are rich in nutrients, including 23.4% protein, 1.8% fat, and 52.6% carbohydrates. They also contain carotene, vitamin B1, B2, and so on. Undersun manufacturers supply 80% specifications of pea protein to the market Global Market.

Pea kernels consist of seed coat, cotyledon and embryo. Among them, the protein, fat, carbohydrate and mineral nutrients contained in dried pea cotyledons accounted for 96%, 77%, and 89% of the total of these nutrients in the grain, respectively. Although the embryo contains protein and mineral elements, its proportion in the grain is extremely small. The seed coat contains most of the carbohydrates that cannot be digested and used in the seeds, and the content of calcium and phosphorus is also high. Among pea proteins, albumin, globulin, and gluten accounted for 21%, 66%, and 2%, respectively.

Dried peas can also be used to extract concentrated pea protein. Pea protein powder can be used as a enhancer for bread and other foods to increase its protein content and biological value.

Processing of green peas and pods can be canned, dehydrated and quick-frozen. Among them, quick-frozen green peas and pod peas are legume vegetables commonly consumed in Europe, America, and Southeast Asian countries. The production of pea snacks is pea yellow and pea cakes, which are characterized by sweetness and deliciousness, spleen and stomach, antipyretic and detoxification.

Pea food has heat-clearing, detoxifying, and diuretic effects, especially for patients with diabetes and postpartum milk. It can also make fried foods.
