Pea flour

Pea flour is a type of flour made from ground-up dried peas. Peas are a type of legume, like beans or lentils, and pea flour is produced by grinding dried peas into a fine powder. This flour is a plant-based ingredient and is commonly used in cooking and baking as a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour.

To make pea flour, dried peas are first cleaned and dehulled to remove the outer shell. The peas are then ground into a fine powder, resulting in pea flour. This process retains the natural nutritional benefits of peas, such as their protein and fiber content. Pea flour has a slightly sweet and earthy flavour, making it versatile for use in a variety of recipes.

Pea flour appears on food labels as an ingredient in products like gluten-free bread, crackers, and baked goods. It is often used to add protein and fiber to foods, as well as to improve texture and moisture retention. Pea flour can also help with browning and crisping in baked goods, making it a popular choice for gluten-free recipes. By including pea flour in their products, food manufacturers can cater to those with gluten sensitivities or dietary preferences for plant-based ingredients.
