Whole grain “Sattu” is a great alternative to Whey Protein. “Sattu” is a slang word for a powder form of roasted multiple grains basically, chick peas, millet, barley, wheat, etc. It’s better if you can mix up more healthy grains in it for increasing its overall nutritional value.
Whey Protein is pretty expensive in market and normal whey protein has low bioavailability. But cause “Sattu” is totally natural and unprocessed, its bioavailability is pretty high in comparison to whey protein. It’s a pretty cheaper option to meet your body’s increasing protein requirement. One scoop of “Sattu” can also provide you 20-25 grams of protein. It’s pretty safe as well.
So “Sattu” is a great protein source for Health and Fitness athletes and enthusiasts who have less money in pocket and who don’t want to take a chance with unexpected side effects of whey protein.
The amino acid profile of “Sattu” is also said to be complete. It’s better if you can take it with a glass of milk. As milk also has almost complete amino acid profile thus mixing both will boost the nutritional value to almost double.
The taste of “Sattu” is pretty good. You can bring all raw grains from market you want to mix, roast them without oil and then grind them in a mixer at home. It’s pretty easy and takes little time. You can store the powder for a long time and its nutritional value will remain the same for a long time.
