is sattu high in protein - #37948
I am really confused about this whole health thing lately, especially with my diet. I’ve been toying with the idea of incorporating more plant-based stuff since I started feeling sluggish and kinda bloated. A friend mentioned sattu, and I heard it’s like a superfood or something? Like, is sattu high in protein or what? I’ve read that it’s made from roasted grams or pulses, but when I look it up, I get mixed info. My nutritionist said I need more protein in my meals, but it seems like nobody can agree on how much protein’s actually in sattu! Sometimes I feel like I’m just chasing my tail here, ya know? I tried making some sattu drink, hoping it would be a good post-workout thing, but the taste was... I dunno, kinda odd. Also, if sattu is indeed high in protein, how should I even go about using it? Like, can I mix it in smoothies or just eat it like that? I don’t want to start eating it if it doesn't deliver what I need. 😅 Anyone have experience with this? I am really wanting to add some high-protein foods into my life but don't wanna waste time on something that’s not gonna help me out. Thanks in advance!

Sattu, made primarily from roasted chickpeas or other pulses, is indeed a good source of protein. It’s often celebrated in traditional Indian diets for its nutritional value, including protein content. Roughly, 100 grams of sattu can contain about 20g of protein, making it relatively high when compared with other plant-based sources. Beyond protein, sattu is an excellent source of carbohydrates and fiber, which can help in maintaining energy levels and aid digestion — potentially alleviating feelings of sluggishness and bloating you’ve been experiencing.
When it comes to incorporating sattu into your diet, there are several creative ways to do so despite its distinct taste. If the sattu drink was not appealing, consider mixing it with your smoothies. Blend it with fruits like bananas or mangoes, adding a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom to enhance the taste. You can also use sattu to make savory dishes such as sattu parathas — a kind of Indian flatbread — or even in soups to thicken and enrich them.
To ensure you’re getting enough protein from sattu, balance it out with other protein-rich foods like lentils or tofu in your meals. Since you’re experiencing bloating, assess whether there might be foods in your diet that trigger such symptoms, and consider adjusting them. In Ayurveda, attention to your dosha, or body constitution, will also be crucial. If you’re feeling sluggish, it might signal an imbalance in Kapha, which can be pacified with warm, light, and dry qualities, as found naturally in sattu.
It’s also important to listen to your body and make adjustments gradually, finding what truly works for you without overwhelming your system. This exploration, while sometimes frustrating, is a significant step towards optimizing your health and well-being.
