Despite this, yellow pea has traditionally received very little genomic innovation. With initiatives like the yellow pea program, Benson Hill will be well positioned to capitalize on this market opportunity as it continues to grow.<\/p>\n<p>Through its yellow pea program, Benson Hill is working to shorten the typical development cycle for yellow pea varieties and the time it takes to bring yellow pea ingredients to market.\u00a0 It&#8217;s creating non-GMO yellow pea varieties that taste better, which could limit the need for additives in plant-based food product formulations. Another focus is increasing yellow pea protein content, which could reduce the need for expensive, environmentally intensive processing steps typically required to produce current commodity yellow pea protein ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>The yellow pea program builds on Benson Hill&#8217;s three-plus years of investments in innovation and critical infrastructure. The Company has developed the first-ever comprehensive map of the yellow pea genome. It has also established a yellow pea breeding station in <span class=\"xn-location\">Minot, North Dakota<\/span>, in close proximity to the Company&#8217;s wholly owned yellow pea operating subsidiary, <b><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3254695-1&amp;h=3579724160&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fbensonhill.com%2F2021%2F03%2F17%2Fbenson-hill-announces-ingredient-and-fresh-business-segments-to-deliver-healthier-more-sustainable-offerings-in-high-growth-food-and-feed-markets%2F&amp;a=Dakota+Ingredients\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Dakota Ingredients<\/a><\/b>.
