Origin

Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein is typically made from plant-based sources such as soy, wheat, or corn. The hydrolysis process involves breaking down the larger protein molecules in these plants into smaller fragments, often peptides and amino acids. In its raw form, Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein appears as a yellow-brown powder.
