Pea Fibre — Food Grade
Allzone Trading supplies food grade pea fibre to food manufacturers in Ontario, Quebec and across Canada. Pea fibre is used for water binding, yield improvement and fibre enrichment in bakery, meat and plant-based products. Fibre content, particle size and water-holding capacity differ by grade and are confirmed at quotation.

Buyer intent coverage
Pea fibre — what it is, where it is used, how it is chosen
Pea fibre is a by-product of prairie pulse fractionation, and its supply is tied directly to Canadian yellow pea processing capacity in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta — which makes it a domestically anchored fibre rather than an imported one. Hull and inner fibre fractions behave differently: hull fibre bulks and structures, inner fibre binds water. Buyers are plant-based, bakery, meat and pet-food manufacturers, many of them close to the same prairie processing base.
Primary uses
- Adding insoluble dietary fibre without strong flavour
- Binding water to improve yield and juiciness in meat and analogues
- Providing structure in gluten-free and high-fibre bakery
- Bulking pet food and extruded products
Applications
- Plant-based meat and dairy analogues
- Processed meat, patties and emulsified products
- Bread, bars and gluten-free bakery
- Extruded snacks and cereals
- Pet food and animal nutrition
Advantages
- Neutral colour and mild flavour compared with several other fibres
- Good water-binding for yield and texture in protein systems
- Supported by an established Canadian pulse processing base
- Non-allergenic positioning relative to wheat and soy fibres
Limitations to consider
- Hull and inner fibre grades are not interchangeable
- Excess addition produces a dry or gritty mouthfeel
- Water-binding capacity varies between suppliers and lots
- Contributes almost no soluble fibre to nutrition targets
How to choose the right grade
- State whether you need hull fibre for structure or inner fibre for binding
- Specify particle size for the mouthfeel your product tolerates
- Set water-binding capacity with the test method you will verify against
- Confirm allergen and non-GMO documentation needs
Typical grades
- Hull fibre standard
- Fine hull fibre
- Inner / cotyledon fibre
- Organic-certified grade where documented
Comparable materials — how Pea fibre sits against alternatives
- Citrus fibre — higher functionality, different labelling and colour
- Bamboo fibre — very neutral insoluble fibre
- Oat fibre — cereal-based insoluble fibre
- Potato fibre — different binding and texture profile
Comparable-material reference. Grade selection is confirmed at RFQ against your process.
Procurement coverage
How to specify, order and receive Pea fibre
Written for procurement, quality and technical buyers in Canada and the United States. No numeric price, MOQ, stock or lead-time value is published — those are confirmed per shipment in the quotation and against the confirmed batch.
How buyers specify at RFQ
- Fibre fraction and total dietary fibre content
- Particle size distribution
- Water-binding capacity with test method
- Protein, starch and ash content
- Certification statements and documentation required
Packaging options (industry-standard)
- Multi-wall paper or PP bag — the standard dry-ingredient format
- Jumbo / FIBC bulk bag for high-volume users
- Fibre drum or carton for oxygen- or moisture-sensitive grades
- Packaging options and available pack sizes are confirmed with each quotation.
Storage & handling
- Store sealed, dry, off the floor and away from strong odours
- Keep food, feed and technical grades physically segregated
- Rotate stock and re-close partial bags immediately after use
Documentation available
- Technical data sheet (TDS) for the exact grade offered
- Safety data sheet (SDS) in the format required for Canadian import
- Certificate of analysis (COA) against the confirmed production batch
- Allergen, non-GMO, Halal and Kosher statements where the grade supports them
- Documentation is confirmed per batch at quotation; availability depends on the grade and supplier offered.

Technical & procurement detail
Functional role of pea fibre+
Pea fibre is the insoluble cell-wall fraction recovered from pea processing. It binds water, adds bulk and improves cooking yield and structure in formed products, while contributing dietary fibre from a non-cereal, non-soy source.
Water holding is the purchased property+
Pea fibre is generally bought to hold water in a formulation, whether that means yield in a cooked product or moisture retention over shelf life. Grades differ substantially in water-holding capacity, so it is the value to compare when evaluating offers.
Particle size drives mouthfeel+
Coarse grades are efficient but can be detected in smooth products; fine grades are less noticeable. Describe the finished texture you must protect and the matching grade will be requested with its documentation.
Documentation and specification+
Functional values differ between producers and grades. Allzone confirms the applicable grade with the supplier before quoting and shares the technical data sheet and safety data sheet for the exact material offered, so the values you evaluate are the values you receive.
Frequently asked questions
How does pea fibre compare with citrus fibre?+
Pea fibre is primarily an insoluble water-binding fibre; citrus fibre also stabilises emulsions after shear activation. Both are listed and can be quoted together.
Is it suitable for plant-based products?+
It is widely used in plant-based formulations. Suitability for your specific formulation and label should be confirmed against the supplier documentation provided.
What packaging is available?+
Packaging is confirmed with the supplier at quotation for the grade and quantity discussed.
Can I request a technical data sheet?+
Yes — the supplier technical data sheet and safety data sheet are shared for the exact grade quoted.
Can you deliver to Ontario and Quebec food plants?+
Yes. LTL and FTL freight is arranged across Ontario, Quebec and Western Canada, with container-direct supply for repeat volumes.
