Organic Pea Protein

Lysine rich, 82% protein content, vegan - This is pea protein from Maskelmän!

The vegan organic pea protein from Maskelmän provides all eight essential amino acids (leucine, valine, isoleucine, lysine, phenylalanine, threonine, methionine, tryptophan) and many other important building blocks (for example arginine) in a protein powder of the highest quality and great valency - and is therefore in no way inferior to non-vegan whey. On the contrary! Protein powder made from pea protein is ideal for strength athletes, but also for all other people who pay attention to their protein intake. The high protein content of a good 82% makes it one of the vegetable proteins with the highest protein content of all. In addition to the excellent amino acid profile, it is also the high calcium and iron content that makes the pea protein isolate interesting also in terms of mineral intake. 

Maskelmän pea protein is made from organically grown yellow peas. The peas are carefully sorted and thoroughly cleaned after harvesting. During a special separation process the protein is extracted, gently dried and carefully packaged.

 The pea protein of Maskelmän sustainably increases the protein content of many foods and drinks.  The protein powder is particularly finely ground, highly soluble and easily digestible. It is therefore very suitable for smoothies, shakes, vegetable drinks and cocoa or can even be used for baking. The protein powder is also the perfect choice for a vegan diet. The mild and delicious taste is another plus point.

What is so special about pea protein?

Lysine rich protein
What is special about essential lysine is one of the amino acids that is found in small amounts in some foods. These include all sweet grasses, i.e. wheat, rye, oats, barley and also rice. If you combine a food low in lysine - rice protein, for example - with other protein-rich sources of protein rich in lysine (pea protein, for example), the result is a higher quality protein. Pea protein powder is therefore a very good source of protein for this purpose.

Rich in calcium and iron
The pea protein of Maskelmän has more to offer than "just" a high protein content. It also contains calcium and iron. Both are highly interesting minerals - especially for the athletes among us. Calcium helps to maintain normal bones and iron can reduce fatigue and tiredness and contribute to normal energy metabolism. Compared to whey protein or pure soya protein, the digestibility of the low-allergen pea protein powder is an additional advantage - therefore pea protein is a great alternative for people who want or have to avoid lactose and do not really trust soya.

Building blocks for the body
Maskelmän's organic pea protein contains all the essential amino acids that the human body needs in addition to the body's own non-essential amino acids for the production of proteins and cannot produce itself. The essential amino acids include leucine, isoleucine and valine. Other important non-amino acids are also found in pea protein, such as arginine, alanine and glutamic acid - an amino acid profile that is quite impressive.

 

What is the best way to use pea protein?

Recommended consumption is very simple. Use about two measuring spoons of the protein-rich pea protein per two hundred millilitres of water, juice or other liquid. Depending on your personal taste, you can also mix it with a freshly prepared smoothie or shake with many other tasty ingredients. Fresh fruit is particularly suitable.

Pea protein and rice protein - the ideal protein team for strength athletes

Not all protein sources are the same, but the perfect combination can mean that each protein powder can play to its strengths. For an optimal supply of high quality protein, it is recommended to mix the lysine-rich protein powder from pea protein with the low lysine protein powder from rice.

Combine the two proteins in a ratio of seven parts rice protein and three parts pea protein. For mixing with rice protein, it is advisable to first mix a larger quantity of the two proteins. For example, weigh 350 grams of rice protein and 150 grams of pea protein and mix the powders thoroughly in a large container. If you prefer a particular flavour, there is nothing to stop you mixing the pea protein powder with sweeteners, fruit or, for example, yacon.

Delicious and nutritious pea protein shakes
