Fuel for modern lifestyles

In addition to enabling higher protein levels, our pea protein isolates can create products that meet other lifestyle preferences. VITESSENCE® Pulse pea protein isolates are produced from yellow peas and, unlike many commonly used soy proteins, are processed without solvents like hexane. The proteins are lactose-free, contain no animal products, and are not listed as a top 9 allergen.

Tell a regional sustainability story

The yellow peas we use are grown in Montana and Canada and then manufactured in our new South Sioux City, Nebraska plant, helping us reduce our environmental footprint. With both regional sourcing and manufacturing, you’ll have a consistent, reliable, and entirely domestic supply, making it easier to trace your product’s ingredients from beginning to end.
