Tag: Cereal proteins

Oats are a surprisingly good source of protein, containing 11–17% protein by dry weight, a higher amount than most other grains. The primary storage protein in oats is a globulin called avenalin, which gives oats a distinct nutritional profile compared to other cereals.

Amylase/trypsin inhibitors (ATIs) are proteins present in the seeds of all cereals, making them a common part of the human diet. These proteins have gained recent interest due to their potential involvement in various sensitivities and immune reactions.
