Product Details

Textured Pea Protein Flake – Functional Plant-Based Meat Texturizer

Textured Pea Protein (TVP) is a high-protein, meat-like ingredient made from non-GMO yellow peas through an extrusion process. Available in 70% and 80% protein levels, this flake-format TVP offers a neutral flavor, fibrous texture, and excellent water-binding properties, making it ideal for vegan meat, snacks, and meal systems.

Chibio’s TVP flakes are 100% plant-based, allergen-safe (free from soy & gluten), and support clean-label innovation in modern flexitarian food formats.


🌿 Product Overview

Chibio’s Textured Pea Protein Flakes are made with 100% yellow peas, processed through thermo-mechanical extrusion to create spongy, fibrous flakes that rehydrate easily and mimic meat textures in plant-based formulations.

Key Features:

  • ≥70% or ≥80% protein (dry basis)

  • Clean, light-yellow appearance with mild taste

  • 3–5mm irregular flakes with dry crunch, hydrated chew

  • Soy ≤2.6 ppm, Gluten ≤5.2 ppm – ultra-low allergen

  • Microbiologically safe (Salmonella, E. coli: negative)
