How is protein derived from barley or quinoa healthier or tastier than rice protein?
- batmansbelt 13y agoHealthier: barley and quinoa have higher counts for most nutrients and are much higher in protein. Taste: Rice is quite bland (generally you put something flavourful on it), but barley and quinoa both have nice flavours on their own.
- cgh 13y agoThey aren't adding actual rice to the product. They are adding protein derived from rice. So these "other nutrients" and taste don't matter. Deriving protein from barley or quinoa would presumably be roughly the same thing (sub-optimal plant proteins) except a lot more expensive.

- batmansbelt 13y agoRice is cheaper per kilogram but there's much more protein per kg in barley and quinoa.
- blacksmith_tb 13y agoDifferent amino acid profiles, not sure about "other nutrients" in protein powder, though - I wouldn't expect much else, other than protein...
