A co-product that earns its place.

Pea starch is the co-product of pea protein extraction — and on its own it is a working ingredient: high viscosity, good film-forming, and useful freeze–thaw stability.

Happy Pea Starch is clean and neutral (non-cereal), gluten-free and non-GMO, so it thickens, binds and texturizes without competing with your flavour. Native starch (HP-PS-N), made for cooked systems where the process brings the heat.

Questions formulators ask

1

What is pea starch?

A co-product of pea protein extraction. On its own it is a functional starch — viscosity, gel formation and film-forming — with a clean, neutral taste.

2

Where does it fit in my process?

Happy Pea Starch is a native starch for cooked systems — it binds, thickens and forms gels where the process brings heat. Tell us your process and we will advise on the right usage.

3

Is it gluten-free and non-GMO?

Yes. Naturally gluten-free and non-GMO, suitable for clean-label products. Certified BRC, HACCP, ISO 9001, Kosher and Halal.

4

Does it affect taste?

No — the flavour profile is neutral and non-cereal, so it thickens and binds without competing with your formulation.

5

What can I use it in?

Extruded snacks, crackers and baked goods; jellies, gummies and chewy candies; sauces, soups and ready meals. Emerging: compostable packaging films.

6

What documents come with a shipment?

TDS, COA and MSDS — batch-verified and consistent from lot to lot.
