Which of the following cereal has more lysine content?

B. Wheat

C. Corn

D. Oats

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Oat cereal has more lysine content.
Oats are rich in lysine content compared to other cereals while they have rather lower content of glutamic acid and prolamin.
Lysine is highly metabolically available from milk and moist cooked oats. However, dry cooking of oats reduces lysine MA considerably. The protein quality of cereal-based diets is dependent on the lysine content and bioavailability of the individual foods.
