I've been thinking about gelatin, too, as something that would add some protein to my family's meals. I buy unflavored gelatin and then make gelled dishes for us from the fruit we grow or forage. It must adds something, even if just a small amount.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-82044778230458931232020-05-10T08:43:24.633-07:002020-05-10T08:43:24.633-07:00I find your analyses very interesting, though we d...I find your analyses very interesting, though we don't personally eat very many meatless meals (I avoid soy for health reasons). A few meals are naturally meatless, such as potato soup, but I do add some gelatin for added protein (and cheese, of course!). I also use the collagen form of gelatin in my coffee each morning for added protein.Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00396716408304381802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-2968669766362518342020-05-09T16:43:36.748-07:002020-05-09T16:43:36.748-07:00Oh, okay. ha ha on the sprouting.

I created a google account, in order to comment, so instead of YHF, I'm going to just use my name. I think there was another Laura, but I haven't seen her comment in awhile. <br /><br />Thank you so much for having this discussion about meatless meals. I will copy your list in my junk journals (for these, I used business junk mail, folded in half), I keep a journal for various topics, as I see the need to keep notes and paste articles. <br /><br />Lately, we've been in love with hemp seeds, for it's smooth, nutty taste and nutrition. On the package of hemp seeds, it says for one serving, 3T, 180 calories, there are 10g protein, 12g omega6:omega3 (roughly in 3:1 ratio, 1:1 is advised, but more often in our SAD we are consuming 25-50:1 ratios), also 100% manganese, 45% magnesium, 35% phosphorous, 25% thiamine, 20% iron, 10% B6, 10% folate, 8% riboflavin, 8% potassium, 2% calcium. I thought I'd just mention it since it is another protein rich food and has all the essential amino acids too.

But my thinking is once the meat shortage really sets in with many people, they'll turn to eggs for a significant source of their protein. That's just a hunch. I did a curb-side pick-up at Walmart over the weekend and was able to get the limit on eggs (which was quite generous at the time, I thought), and the price on the eggs was its normal low for spring. Yesterday morning, I froze a 5-dozen case of eggs to use when prices go up. I hope to get another case soon for freezing. <br /><br />I also think that as people go back to work (whenever that happens), eating habits will shift again. The foods that were easy to prepare at home in the middle of the day for lunches at the height of the pandemic (like eggs), will shift to more portable protein sources, like peanut butter and lunchmeat (if the prices aren't too high). And more families might go back to getting take-out for quick meals instead of making something quick and easy at home (like eggs).<br /><br />It's all such a guessing game. The good news is that there are a lot of different foods that can meet protein needs.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-37098427654035644622020-05-05T09:31:28.675-07:002020-05-05T09:31:28.675-07:00Thank you for doing this, Lili.

I'm sure I will be referencing this! I already tend to bump up the protein content in our meals and snacks but if we have to eat meatless meals, I will need help to pull that off. What's your sense of the supply of eggs? So far I've only had 1 week here when they were hard to source. The rest of the time they have been plentiful and cheap.Krisnoreply@blogger.com
