Abstract: The invention relates to granulated pea protein composition characterized 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 ?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.
