So pea protein powder in the store costs up to 30 euro’s here for 1kg of powder.
1 kg of dried peas costs 4 euro’s. I thought about grinding them into a powder to have some protein to add to my diet. But I’ve never done this before so I don’t know how well it works. Anyone here with experience?
Do they need to be cooked or processed before eating?
Some beans, such as kidney beans ere highly toxic to eat raw. Others may just upset your stomach
I think just grinding the raw peas into a powder may prove rather difficult, and strain your blender/grinder or just fuck up the blades
Peas contain a lot of other components too, notably carbs and fibre. The fibre might make your shits very loose
You could probably research on extraction procedures using normal Google, Google scholar, or Google patents. Maybe some of them will be replicable at home
How about just stew them, or make mushy peas, or peas pudding? It’ll probably taste better
You can get soy protein online pretty cheap. And of course pea protein
I think the use of pea protein is becoming more common in the food industry, so you could try food manufacturing supplies, domestic or abroad, if you don’t mind buying in bulk
I know some extraction techniques used commercially leave a lot of sodium in the final product, so this is something to consider
