Pea Protein is not defined by AAFCO.  Wikipedia defines pea protein as a form of protein powder which is valued[according to whom?] for its high digestibility (90-95%), low potential for allergic responses, and low price. Pea protein has a light, flurry texture and slightly sweet taste which mixes well in solution.

Pea protein is less allergenic than soy and has no negative health controversies associated with it.
