About Peazazz
Derived from field peas, Peazazz's uniquely clean flavor characteristics,
exceptional solubility and nutritional value make it ideal for use in a
variety of food, beverage and nutritional products. Ideal applications for
Peazazz include sports nutrition beverages, citrus-based drinks,
fruit-flavored beverages, fruit juice blends, fortified waters, dairy
alternative products and powdered beverage mixes. Peazazz can also fortify
snacks, cereals and diet products, as well as gluten-free, vegetarian and
vegan food products. Compared to other plant-based proteins, pea proteins
are also hypoallergenic and more environmentally sustainable. Pea plants
have a unique ability to draw in nitrogen from the atmosphere and store it
in their roots. This allows producers to use less fertilizer when
replenishing the soil, making pea a desired and truly sustainable crop.
