Marrowfat Pea, Faba Bean Deluxe Mix *Experimental*



When is a pea a different kind of pea? When they are NEW ZEALAND's sun bioactivated, muted green in color, whole, dried in the field and mature. And, like other SLOW™DRIED products, they are NOT subject to glyphosate accelerator drying [*] 'indicator' crops.

Although peas (species: P. sativum, family: Fabaceae) typically contain high anti-nutrient levels that 'vary not only as a function of maturity but also with the variety' [1], they are a unique source of non-ubiquitous M-Xylohydroquinone (m-XHQ) (considered to be an anti-fertility chemical as it meddles with reproductive hormones estrogen and progesterone), a source of myricetin [^], pinitol [^^], carotene [^^^] and cryptoxanthins [^^^^].

Slow™Dried Faba Beans are now also part of the "value added" mix. Prior to proprietary treatments, which removes some of the water content, they are a "raw" data source (2,500-25,000ppm) of the drug L-Dopa (also produced by high cost 'total synthesis') with clinical use: antiparkinsons. (Tropical Plants Yielding Clinically Useful Drugs. by Farnsworth, N. R. & D. D. Soejarto. 1988. Global importance of medicinal plants (unpublished draft manuscript rev. 23)). And, plant origin tyndallized probiotics (also known as postbiotics), inclusion due to clinical research [incl. Double-Blind tests] "improved digestive health" claims.

This product is currently in an 'experimental' stage whilst NEW ZEALAND certified organic sources are located, content assumptions are challenged and non-UHF methods (eg soaking, sprouting, fermentation, thermodynamics, hydrothermal, shearing, enzymatic [**] and/or phytochemical treatments) are compared for this viable alternative plant protein source.

  • Source of copper, potassium, riboflavin (vit B1), vitamin B6 and zinc

  • Source of methionine (110-1,088ppm): improvement of protein quality, modulation of lipids metabolism
  • Excellent source of dietary fiber
  • Good source of protein
  • Source of, at least, one billion CFU's
  • Low sugar
  • Sodium free
  • GMO free, GE free
  • Food, not pills or bitter pills, to swallow [****]
No more doubt (in ‘that’ pea sprout). “What the survivors do to stay in that league…forward, not has it BACKWARD…few large companies create new categories or commercialise innovations…long-term commitment and persistence that innovation and entrepreneurship require". New Nutrition (p.12 editorial) Apr’11.
