Happy Pea Protein Neutral — 80–85 % protein with practically no beany or bitter notes. Delicate flavours stay exactly as you designed them. Also available in organic and low-sodium versions.
Most pea protein asks the formulator to work around it: beany top notes, a bitter finish, foam in the mixing tank. The workaround is a flavour house and a longer recipe.
Happy Pea Protein Neutral is made for the opposite job. Gentle wet fractionation from yellow split peas gives 80–85 % protein with practically no beany or bitter aftertaste — so a delicate fruit, vanilla or botanical note reads exactly as intended, with nothing to mask.
