Clean label power

Almost 15% of new food and beverage products globally carried "no additives" or "no preservatives" claims in 2022 and 2023.
Yellow field peas offer a non-GMO, glyphosate-free option for organic starch. With minimal processing compared to tapioca and other starches, they can easily replace modified starches in your recipes and help you reach your ESG goals.

Neutral color, amazing functionality
Want to create quality products but struggling with coloring, look, or mouthfeel?
Based on an internal study, PURIS found that pea starch outperforms rice and corn starch in expanding products.
Plus, replacing tapioca starch with pea starch has minimal impact on the extrusion process. With a 1:1 expansion ratio, PS85 can be a nearly seamless swap in your recipe, hitting all the marks that consumers want to see from your brand.

Upcycled = lower carbon footprint
If you are a food and or maker looking to reduce your environmental footprint, here’s something to consider: Using Upcycled Certified™ ingredients helps lower environmental impact by diverting organic waste from landfills, thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
In addition to benefitting the planet, using upcycled ingredients can help you attract new consumers, with 57% of consumers stating they are at least moderately engaged in environmental action.
These sustainable practices are key to building better food systems, creating a more efficient value chain, and attracting environmentally-conscious consumers.



Why you’ll love it
