Structural Strength & Digestible Crunch
Pea starch delivers firm texture and shape retention in molded and extruded treat systems while maintaining excellent digestibility.
- High Amylose Content (30–35%)
Promotes firm structure and crunchy texture in baked and molded applications. - Highly Digestible (~95%)
Demonstrated digestibility in dogs and cats. - Supports Injection Molding
Enables shape definition and durability in dental chews.
Fiber Enrichment & Calorie Management
Pea Hull Fiber adds concentrated insoluble fiber to support digestive health and energy balance in treat formulations.
- >40% Crude Fiber
Primarily insoluble fiber to support digestive function. - Water-Binding Capacity (~4.5x)
Contributes to structure and moisture balance. - Supports Calorie Reduction
Enables fiber-enriched, weight-conscious treat positioning.
Moisture Retention & Soft Texture Control
Internal Pea Fiber enhances water retention and emulsion stability, helping maintain softness in semi-moist and high-meat systems.
- Exceptional Water Binding (Up to 10x)
Improves moisture retention and yield (Cosucra, 2025). - Maintains Softness
Helps preserve tender texture in semi-moist treats. - Prevents Syneresis & Drying
Reduces moisture migration in high-meat or glycerin-rich formulations.
PURIS Pea Protein Fines Performance
A clean, concentrated plant protein designed to elevate nutritional density in pet food while maintaining simple, natural ingredient decks.
-
High-protein: Delivers >75% protein with all essential amino acids, supporting balanced nutrition for dogs and cats when paired with complementary proteins.
-
Fine, functional texture: Ultra‑fine particle size ensures even blending and smooth, consistent performance in extrusion, retort, and cold‑formed systems across kibble, wet food, fresh diets, and treats.
-
Clean-label, sustainable protein: A single‑source, AAFCO‑compliant natural ingredient that enables “high‑protein” and “grain‑free” claims while supporting whole‑plant utilization and a low carbon, North American supply chain.

We supply ingredients in versions that meet leading food and pet food certifications, including USDA Organic and other top compliance standards, giving you full label flexibility.
Our R&D team provides hands‑on formulation work, ingredient testing, and application optimization. All products meet AAFCO natural expectations, supporting clean‑label development.
Assurance
Our human‑food‑grade quality systems deliver traceability, consistency, and safety. Because pets deserve the same standards as the people who feed them.
We invest in transparent sourcing and advanced LCA methodologies to help you validate sustainability claims and meet evolving environmental expectations.
Peas carry naturally low GHG profiles. Our LCA‑driven sourcing and localized contracting help you cut upstream emissions and improve Scope 3 reporting.
Stability
Our insights into non‑exchange‑traded markets support informed sourcing decisions. A fully domestic supply chain also reduces tariff exposure and geopolitical risk.
