Guest guest Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 As I understand it, wheat gluten doesn't contain all of the 8 essential amino acids; the only " complete " vegan proteins I'm aware of are found in soybeans and hemp seeds. Meatheads like to claim that meat and dairy are the only complete proteins, but this is just propaganda. Gardenburger makes some delicious BBQ ribs which contain both gluten and soy protein. Also, as long as you eat some type of bean or nut along with the gluten I think you should be okay in the amino acid dept. , " Dave " <phantombluefan> wrote: > hi, > I've had commercially prepared " ribs " made with vital wheat gluten > and I must say they are quite yummy especially that I can fully sink > my teeth into them. now I got a question, does vital wheat gluten > provide as good quality protein as soy especially those pesky > essential amino acids " the big 8 " lol cause if they did that would > really be great. please let me know thanks.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 I've had those gardenburger ribs I like em alot. aint it funny how hemp has all the right amino acids, can be refined to run a car, restore the ozone layer. yet there is still this war against it go figure. as far as this bit about soy messing with thyroid medications or whatever, I am on synthroid for thyroid control and my last tests showed me having the correct amount of thyroid and my diet is fairly heavy on the soy side of things. stay cool, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I read somewhere that quinoa is also a complete protein, but haven't checked myself.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2003 Report Share Posted September 26, 2003 yeah, quinoa might be complete too, not sure. but isn't it even more hard to find than hemp seed? , Sant & Brown <santbrown@l...> wrote: > > the only " complete " vegan proteins I'm aware > > of are found in soybeans and hemp seeds. > > I think I read somewhere that quinoa is also a complete protein, but > haven't checked myself. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I don't know ;=) I do know that (organic) quinoa is always available at my nearby Bulk Barrel right next to the quinoa flour (anyone know about using that?), kumat (which I couldln't even begin to guess how to use) and amaranth (likewise). I haven't noticed hemp seed there but, next time, for interest's sake, I'll have a look for it ;=) If you recommend, I'll buy it too - but you'll have to tell me how to use it ;=) Meanwhile, I'll look these things up on the net and answer some of my own questions. And I'll report back on the quinoa. Best, Pat P.S. Now that I think of it, I haven't seen quinoa for sale anywhere else, so perhaps it is indeed difficult to buy. -- SANTBROWN townhounds/ http://www.angelfire.com/art/pendragon/ ---------- * " I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet " - Gandhi * " The time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men " - Leonardo da Vinci ---------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
