Yellow pea flour has wide applications in soups, sauces, extruded snacks, nutrition bars, baked goods, biscuits, pasta/noodles, tortilla, ethnic flatbreads and pulse-fortified beverages.
Some of the key advantages of using yellow pea flour in food formulations:
- High in natural fibre
- Gluten-free
- Low fat content
- Full amino-acid profile (high in lysine unlike the staple cereals such as rice and wheat)
- Low glycaemic index (suitable for diabetic patients and people who are conscious of their weight)
