16 Complete Protein Pairings with Yellow Mustard

Summary:

Yellow mustard contains a moderate amount of protein - about 0.6 grams per tbsp.
However, yellow mustard provides only 8 of the 9 essential amino acids sufficiently - it is a little low on tryptophan.^[1]
Yellow mustard pairs well with breadfruit seeds, chia seeds, oregano, crimini mushroom or sesame seeds to create a complete protein profile. ^[2] More yellow mustard pairings and detailed analysis below.

Pairings with Yellow Mustard (16)

A complete protein is a protein source that "contains adequate proportions of the nine essential amino acids" that our body can not produce on its own.

World Health Organization ^[2], National Academy Press ^[3]

We analyzed the amino acid composition of yellow mustard, and found both vegan and vegetarian pairings with yellow mustard that creates a complete protein profile. Read on to discover new combinations of foods to enjoy!

Details on how we calculate complete protein profiles.

Yellow Mustard source

Amount of Protein in Yellow Mustard

A decent source of supplementary protein, a single tablespoon of yellow mustard contains 0.6 grams of protein, or about 1% of recommended daily values. ^[1]

To get the adequate amount of protein with yellow mustard alone, you will need 89 tablespoons of yellow mustard (1340 grams) for an average female, or 107 tablespoons of yellow mustard for males. ^[4] That's about 802 calories, and a lot of yellow mustard! Supplementing yellow mustard with food higher in protein is a good idea.

Essential Amino Acids in Yellow Mustard

Proportionally, yellow mustard does contain abundant amounts of 8 out of the nine essential amino acids. However, yellow mustard is a little short on tryptophan.^[1]

To have adequate amounts of all nine essential amino acids with yellow mustard alone, you will have to eat 193 tablespoons of yellow mustard (2889 grams) for an average person. ^[2]

That's about 116% more yellow mustard to compensate for the lack of tryptophan, compared to the protein requirement alone.
