Quinoa is one of the only good grain sources of lysine. Your body needs a total of 20 amino acids to function regularly, although only nine of these have to come from dietary sources. Grains contain all of these essential amino acids in varying concentrations. As such, you can hypothetically meet all of your daily essential amino acid needs with grains. However, as most grains lack in one or more of these compounds, you would need to eat an excessively large number of servings each day to do so.
