About this product

Pea starch is derived from whole peas and is an excellent natural and grain-free option. It is a natural gluten-free carbohydrate, GMO-free, and it is palatable due to the presence of simple sugars. Although very digestible, it is slowly digested providing sustained energy release, and has a low glycemic index (GI). Pea Starch can replace completely or partially cereals, whole peas, potato starch, and all other carbohydrate sources. Both native- and extruded pea starch are available.
