What textured pea protein is

Textured pea protein is a natural product of plant origin. Peas are finely ground, and the proteins are extracted by eliminating all other substances present; the protein mass thus obtained is subjected to extrusion and drying. The result is a product that can be presented in different formats such as granules or chips, almost devoid of its own aroma.
