This is kind of mind blowing so I'm hoping that someone here has some knowledge or insight on the subject. I've been for a very long while a bit of a "health nut" though obese, still very interested in eating foods that are as organic as possible, no chemical sweeteners, etc. I have had (pre-op) a fantastic all purpose seasoning from soy Protein that is non-GMO, gluten-free and preservative free. It's sort of tastes like a soy sauce and can be added to Soups, any meat, fish, chicken, lentils, just even put into a salad dressing, or mixed into a glass of tomato or vegetable juice. When I was raising my grandson, he loved to use it for his California rolls and sushi. It's really great. I just pulled it out to season some pre cooked lentils I bought at Trader Joe's and for the first time took a look at the protein content per serving 1/2 tsp. there are 189 servings per 16 fl. oz. container but under the list of "per serving it says protein is 310mg!!! That would mean per 1/2 tsp. Is that possible? It is listed under "Amount Per Serving". Ingredients are Vegetable protein from Soybeans and Purified Water. The aminos are Alanine, Arginine, Aspartic Acid, Glutamic Acid, Glycine, Histidine, Isoleucine, Lysine, Leucine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Proline, Serine, Theonine, Tyrosine, and Valine.

Is this a find or what? The stuff is so good to season food that you can easily put away half tsp. Does soy protein count?

Reading off the bottle it says BRAGG liquid is a Vegetable Protein Seasoning from healthy certified non-GMO soybeans from the original formula by health pioneer and originator of Health Stores, Paul C. Bragg. A Gormet Alternative to Tamari,& Soy sauce. NO PRESERVATIVES, NO ALCOHOL, NOT FERMENTED, GLUTEN-FREE...

Anyway if this counts as protein intake then WOW!!! Or is whey the only way to get additional protein into our diets? Any feedback on this anyone?

I've used Braggs aminos and apple cider for years and yes it's a fantastic seasoning agent with nutritional value. Even if you used 1 tsp you'd only get 0.62gms of protein so it would take quite a bit to help you get to your full 60 to 70 per day, but it is beneficial...every little bit helps right?

Ah I see, so what I read off the bottle as 310 protein grams "per serving" was referring to the entire bottle? If you happen to have a bottle of Braggs aminos take a look at the labeling please because it reads to me as though that high number of protein grams I quoted was per serving. Too good to be true...too bad. Still it's a great product and I have the apple cider vinegar also. Thanks for the reply.

Lan,

If it says 310 mg protein per serving...thats micrograms

What you read was correct, there's 310 mg per 1/2 teaspoon not 310gms...without getting too deep there's 1000mg per 1 gram so 310 mg is actually just 0.31 gms so it isn't as much as they make it seem...it is very confusing:wink0:

Lan, I used to like Braggs as well but these days it's just too salty for me. I've always been a "natural and organic" kinda gal as well. Keep posting the healthy products that you find.

Oh Duh! How dumb can I get?? Here I am thinking I've come up with a superb solution to protein consumption! Thanks for pointing out the obvious. Everyone else must be shaking their heads...yeah right LAN2k, you get in your 1/2 tsp. every day (sigh) oh well.
