Exceptional Protein Source
Lemna's superior Essential Amino Acid Content coupled with its excellent Digestibility Profile makes this tiny leaf a Protein Superhero.
The graph above displays a list of common protein sources and their PDCAAS score. Lemna leaf is highlighted with a high PDCAAS Score of 1.0. The only protein source with a higher PDCAAS Score on the graph is milk, with a score of 1.05.
*Protein digestibility-corrected amino acid score (PDCAAS) is a method of evaluating the quality of a protein based on both the amino acid requirements of humans and their ability to digest it. *Adopted by the US FDA and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations/World Health Organization (FAO/WHO) in 1993 as "the preferred "best"" method to determin protein quality.
