Why are Sproud’s products based on peas?

THE IDEAL SOURCE OF SUSTAINABLE PROTEIN

Split peas are rich in proteins and contain a wide range of essential amino acids.

SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE

The pea plant has the amazing ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen in the soil through its symbiotic relationship with soil-borne bacteria. The nitrogen-fixing properties not only reduce nitrogen in the atmosphere but also improve soil fertility and the aggregation and conservation of water. Split peas also require less water, land, and energy than most other crops. By including peas in a crop rotation cycle, the yields, and energy efficiency increase up to 25% for years to come.

ALL-ROUND SUPERHERO

The split pea is rich in proteins and nutrients, reduces atmospheric nitrogen, and requires less non-renewable energy. Split peas also improve soil fertility, increase the farmland’s productivity, promote farm and soil biodiversity, and help keep harmful pests and diseases at bay without pesticides. On top of this, pea protein steams brilliantly, making Sproud drinks creamy and smooth.
