What is pregelatinized pea starch?
Pregelatinized pea starch is starch from yellow or green peas that has been physically processed to allow it to swell and bind instantly in cold applications. It is especially valuable in processes or products where rapid processing, instant viscosity build-up, or cold solubility are essential, such as instant soups, sauces, desserts, fillings, or powdered food supplements. In these applications, it offers a clear advantage over native starch, as it provides the desired texture and stability immediately, without the need for heating.
Applications of pregelatinized pea starch
Pregelatinized pea starch is used in a variety of food applications, including:
Nutritional benefits of pea flour
Pea flour is rich in complex carbohydrates and essential micronutrients such as iron, phosphorus, calcium, and B vitamins.

Frequently asked questions
Pregelatinized pea starch has been physically and/or thermally processed, which means the starch is already partially pre-cooked and can dissolve, bind, and thicken instantly without heating. This makes pregelatinized pea starch highly suitable for cold or quick applications where heating is not possible or desired.
