The growing interest in healthy food products, as well as gluten-free applications, has paved the way for the introduction by California-based Marroquin Organic International of several high-quality pea ingredients. The company is working with Best Cooking Pulses Inc. (BCP) to introduce organic and non-GMO pea ingredients to the U.S. market. BCP is located in the Canadian heart of pea production and is a premier leader in the development and processing of pea ingredients.
The product range, which includes green and yellow, whole and split pea flours; pea fiber; roasted split pea (coined “yumpeez”); and chickpea flour, is available as organic or non-GMO. The flours are versatile and can be used like wheat flour in countless applications, such as muffins, breads, tortillas, pastas, extruded products and pet foods.
