Protein Group
Grains & Wheat Protein
About This Group
Grain-based proteins include wheat gluten forms like seitan alongside protein-rich whole grains such as quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat, farro, oats, and barley.
Grains and wheat gluten provide complementary plant protein — quinoa to seitan. Included for protein-food completeness, not only high-protein claims.
