Pea-Powered Sustainability: Yellow Peas, the Little Superheroes
At Nuverta, part of the Arvesta group, we believe in the power of sustainability, and our secret weapon is the humble yellow pea. These little superheroes are not just good for you—they're great for the planet too!
Why Yellow Peas?
Yellow peas are incredibly sustainable. They require less water to grow compared to other crops and help improve soil health by fixing nitrogen. This means they naturally enrich the soil, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers. Yellow peas also play a crucial role in crop rotation, lowering the carbon footprint and enhancing soil health.
Our Sustainable Production Process
At Nuverta, we take sustainability to the next level with our innovative production method. We produce pea concentrates using a dry milling process followed by air classification. This method is unique because it only uses electricity—no water or chemicals are involved. This makes our production process not only efficient but also environmentally friendly.
Our yellow pea concentrates are a sustainable choice for food manufacturers looking to reduce their environmental footprint.
By using a dry milling process, we conserve water and avoid harmful chemicals, making our production process kind to the planet.
Yellow peas are packed with protein and essential nutrients, making them a powerful ingredient for healthy, sustainable food products.
Our Commitment to Farmers - Every day, more than 200 of our colleagues are on the road, working directly with farmers to guide them in sustainable farming practices and help them succeed. Thanks to Arvesta, we have a strong and direct link with local farmers, enabling us to provide solutions that help reduce the use of fertilizers, offer disease-resistant and high-yield seeds, and introduce new technologies and digitalization of data. We also focus on improving soil health through cover crops, which increase organic matter and soil coverage.
