Why use Oat Protein?
Oat protein has a nutritionally strong amino acid composition. Oat protein’s nutritional value surpasses that of other cereals due to its high lysine content and lower levels of prolamin proteins. Furthermore, oat protein possesses the highest lysine content among all cereals, as per the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations standards.
Additionally, oat protein exhibits high digestibility and proves versatile for a broad spectrum of applications.
Mintel GNPD reports that oats have gained significant popularity and have become a sought after ingredient in the past 5 years. This surge is attributed to their health benefits and the fact that they are environmentally friendly.
