High-Protein Grains That Can Transform Your Diet GRAIN GAINS
Quinoa This high-protein grain has significantly grown in popularity in recent years, and for good reason. One cup of cooked quinoa adds 8 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber to your diet. Most people use it as a substitute for rice in soups and salads, but some might enjoy it as a hot cereal to replace sugary breakfast options. Sorghum If you haven’t heard of sorghum, get ready because it’s taking the country by storm. Sorghum is a staple in many Indian and African dishes. A cup of cooked sorghum will have around 7 grams of protein, 4 grams of fiber, and all the B vitamins, iron, and magnesium you need to improve your overall health. Other high-protein grains worth investigating include millet, buckwheat, wild rice, farro, and teff. Once you discover the power and magic of high-protein grains, you’ll wonder why you didn’t explore them sooner.
If you’re trying to build muscle or improve your overall health, you already know how vital ample protein is to your diet. Most people turn to lean meats, eggs, nuts, seeds, and even dairy to add protein to their diet, but many don’t consider grains a great protein source. However, a few excellent high-protein grains can provide the same benefits as other protein sources while supplying more fiber and other essential nutrients. Any grain with more than 4 grams of protein per cup is considered high-protein. You can find most high-protein grains at any supermarket, but you should head to the closest Whole Foods or Natural Grocers for the best selection. If you’re unsure where to start, here are three high-protein grains you can easily incorporate into your diet. Oats You likely already have oats in your pantry. This all-purpose grain is gluten-free and packs 6 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber per cup. Remember, the less the grain is processed the higher it is in protein. Oats can be added to breads, desserts, and various breakfast dishes.
