While the demand is there, most consumers are not
educated on the fact that all plant proteins are not
created equal.

acids in the ratio the body requires. Protein quality
is another differentiator and this term refers to
the digestibility and quantity of essential amino
acids. Quality is based on the concentration of its
first limiting essential amino acid. This is calculated
through a measurement known as the protein
digestibility-corrected amino acid score (PDCAAS).
Animal proteins are complete and have a PDCAAS

of 1.0. Most plant proteins are not complete,
and therefore, they have lower PDCAAS. This is
important when making protein content claims, as
PDCAAS are factored into determining the percent
of the Daily Value (DV) of protein a food provides.5
If a food contains 10% to 19% of the DV, it may be
labeled a " good source " of a nutrient. More than
20% DV makes it an " excellent source. " In general,
it takes more (incomplete) plant protein to make a
content claim then it does animal protein. But there
are exceptions. Quinoa is one. Quinoa is a complete
protein, making it attractive for use in proteincentric
products to help you make a consumerappealing
content claim.6

" Good " or " excellent " source of
protein claims refer to the amount
of complete protein in the product.
This is 5 grams or 10 grams per
