I’ve been a vegetarian for about 15 years but admittedly ate a pretty poor diet for most of it. I’ve recently been trying to pay more attention to incorporating more veggies, paying attention to fibre, protein etc.
I realised that my protein levels each day were terribly low and so I’m trying to improve that. I bought both quinoa and couscous from my local supermarket (UK based). I’d heard that quinoa is better in terms of protein and out of interest looked at the packet. Confusingly, the couscous is showing higher in protein at 7.2g per 100g, with quinoa only at 3.5g! And neither of these numbers are anywhere close to the 14g that some Internet research tells me 100g should contain.
Can anyone help shed some light? I’ve attached photos of the labelling in case I’m missing something super obvious!
Thank you:)
