It’s much better to use DIAAS as a measure of usable protein. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digestible_Indispensable_Amino_Acid_Score https://www.diaas-calculator.com/
minus-squareJtotheb@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoAlso a neat site. It seems like the ratio of usable protein would be a good addition to, but a lacking substitute for, the raw quantities. Especially given how incomplete the PCDAAS and DIAAS datasets are.
