While it is true that there is a dearth of options when it comes to quality vegetarian sources of protein, but if you look around, you would be stunned as to how simple, everyday foods could also make up for your daily protein requirements just as efficiently. All you have to do is some mix and match, Dal with chawal, idli with sambar...you get the drift. Another very good plant-based source of protein is Oats.
Oats are a global superfood for a reason. It is packed with innumerable antioxidants and minerals, besides that it is an excellent source of both soluble and insoluble fibre and so much protein. Protein is good for your weight management, muscle-building and hair and skin, it is no wonder that sometimes it is also referred to as the building block of life.
Another reason why we absolutely adore oats is their versatility. It is as good in porridge as in a Kathi roll. You heard us, Bengal’s favourite Kathi roll can be stuffed with Saffola Masala oats, fried onions, ketchup and other veggies for a sumptous feast, read this recipe by chef Kunal Kapur.
