So Where Is Lysine?

There are multiple sources of lysine. I mentioned quinoa the other day, which can be eaten like oatmeal.

Other sources are lysine are proteins such as meats, (this includes red meat, pork and chicken), fish (especially cod and sardines), eggs, parmesan cheese, nuts, and soy (this includes tofu, and soy flour). Remember that lysine is an essential amino acid and is usually in proteins. Many of the grains do not contain lysine because the protein in grains is not complete.
