The amount of protein in pea protein powder can vary depending on the brand and formulation. On average, pea protein powder typically contains around 20-25 grams of protein per serving, making it a high-protein plant-based alternative to other protein sources. The protein content of pea protein powder can be even higher in some brands, with some products containing up to 80% protein. It's best to check the specific product label for the exact protein content.
Example:
Serving Size 30g
Fat 0.5g
Cholesterol 0mg
Potassium 100mg
Sodium 110mg
Carbohydrate 2g
Protein 27g
To work out the protein content as a percentage, we divide the protein content by the serving size and then multiply by 100.
27g (protein) ÷ 30g (serving size) × 100 = 90%
