The modern Paleo diet seeks to emulate hunter-gatherer diets by eliminating processed and refined foods that are abundant in the modern diet. High-quality pea protein isolates are processed using a low-heat, enzymatic isolation process (which is functionally very similar to fermenting or sprouting) and this effectively removes most of the phytate, lectins, saponins, and trypsin inhibitors that are associated with legumes and recommended not to be consumed when following a traditional paleo diet.
