The invention relates to granulated pea protein composition characterised
in that the protein content expressed in terms of a dry substance ranges
from 70 to 95% by dry weight, preferably from 70 to 90% by dry weight,
more preferably from 80 to 85% by dry weight, a mean diameter ranges from
150 to 300 .mu.m, a compressibility value determined by the HOSOKAWA
method ranges from 5 to 15%, preferably from 8 to 13% and a tamped
density determined by the HOSOKAWA method ranges from 0.450 and 0.650
g/ml, preferably from 0.550 and 0.650 g/ml. The method for producing said
granulated pea protein composition, the use thereof in the form of a raw
material for producing textured pea proteins and the thus obtainable
textured pea proteins are also disclosed.
