What is the source for this? Are the peas organic? Are these peas from China?

I was disappointed when I realized that my containers of this product say the peas are from China. Looking for a new product. :-(

I called Now Foods @ 888-669-3663 and they said that peas are sourced from China :(

The container says, "100% pure, non-gmo pea protein isolate from yellow peas." The word organic is not used, and it does not say where the peas are from.

why can't the company inform us if the peas are from China or not.Too many different answers!

UPDATE: My bottle said "Product of China. Packaged in the U.S.A." - You've been warned.

Yes! I just ordered this and am so disappointed. It clearly says the peas are from China. It's going back.

I am looking at the 2 pound container right now. It reads, as the last line directly below Nutrition Facts: "Product of China. Packaged in the USA." I used to have a high regard for Now products, but if you look closely at the expanded Nutrition Facts for this product, yo will see that Now Foods has deliberately left off that last line! I won't buy this product again as I no longer have much trust in Now Foods.

I checked and Now said peas are from USA and Canada but shipped to China to be processed. what made me look more into it was when i first started buying this product it was labeled NOW. and recently i noticed it said NOW Sports and it also does not say organic as the old label used to say usda organic.

I do not want any food product that has seen the shores of China! So this is out! Poor choice to send USA products to be processed in China!

it doesn't say on the the bag but does say that it is organic by the usda. they have a web site www.navitasnaturals.com-it probably would say there.ithink they are grown probably in ca.

The ad clearly states "Our Organic Matcha, both Culinary and Ceremonial are now sourced directly from Japan." NOT CHINA anymore (as indicated in the first of 28 answers above).

Here's what the package says: "Product of China", Packed exclusively for Seapoint Farms of Huntington Beach, CA, "100% Natural Ingredients: Soybeans, Sea Salt. Manufactured in a plant that processes peanuts and other nuts." It has the capital K symbol (Kosher, I think), and the "Non-GMO" green plant with yellow sun symbol (I think this is regulated and only allowed to be advertised if it meets certain requirements.) It does not say "organic" or carry the organic symbols. I've been very happy with the edemame (of course, non-plus'd about it being from China), but it seems to be as advertised and in a fairly natural state. Who knows how far back the genetic modification goes and if this could be traced...

The information on the package goes to great lengths to assure the customer of the wholesomeness of the product, however, I do not see the word "organic" anywhere. Perhaps you can find more information at www.palousebrand.com or www.facebook.com/palousebrand Good luck! As an aside, I have used these in cooking (I use them to replace ground meat in recipes, and have made salads with them.) and I have no complaints.

I would yes they are vegetarian, basically they green garden peas coated with a firery Japanese Wasabi horseradish. They are just a snack food and made in Thailand. This is the best answer I could give.

These seeds are small packets like you find in the grocery store. They come from China. I would not have purchased them if I had known before hand that they were from China. I am surprised they were not confiscated upon entry to the USA. Look at American Meadows.com It is an American company specializing in wild flowers and they can tell you how much to buy for the amount of area you want to cover.

I don"t now where they are from, what I know is that they are all powerful greens, organic an very good for one"s health. Ou can view the ingredients from the product description. My family uses it, specially my husband who has lung cancer.

As far as I can remember they were not organic, its been a while since I have boughten them. But very good quality.

China. I over reacted to this information too.Then I noticed all the non GMO frozen Edamame is coming from china too. If I were you, I would just wash the kernels thoroughly before eating them.

The package does not indicate the seeds are organic. If they were, there would be some indication, so have to assume the answer is no.

I didn't have a bag of Goji Berries to see where they come from, so I went on line and looked them up. Looks like most come from China. Check Youtube, you can also grow your own. Sorry, I wasn't much help, but I do love them in my smoothies. You have to soak them in water to soften them if you want to eat them plain.

I went to their website and saw nothing about being organically grown. I see nothing about their farming process, in fact. As I commented below to another poster, it's great that these are non-GMO, but nothing about being organically grown.

The bag says "Made in the USA" and "Pea ingredients from Canada". Hope this helps.

It is not a complete protein by definition. I was planning to order for my son, who lifts, but when I read that the peas are sourced from China, and that it had high lead and cadmium levels, I decided not to. 14 Chinese companies poisoned heparin used by dialysis patients. They adulterated it with a poison. 82 or 84 US patients died as a result. My recommendation is never put anything in your mouth produced or processed in China.

Yes, all the seeds from MyPatriotSupply.com claim to be non gmo and organic. I have a great herb garden from them.
