Roasted gram flour (sattu) vs whey protein: Which one is better?

Pravrajya Suruchi

Whey Protein: The clear winner in terms of protein content. One scoop (around 25g) of whey protein powder can provide a concentrated dose of high-quality protein.

Sattu: While a good source of plant-based protein, sattu offers a lower amount per serving. 

Whey Protein: Primarily focused on protein content, with minimal amounts of other nutrients like fiber or vitamins.

Sattu: A more well-rounded nutritional profile. Sattu is a good source of fiber, carbohydrates, some essential vitamins and minerals.

Whey Protein: Generally well-digested and absorbed quickly due to its high-quality protein source.

Sattu: May be slightly heavier on the stomach for some people due to its fiber content.

Whey Protein: Generally more expensive than sattu, especially high-quality whey protein isolates.

Sattu: A more affordable and readily available option, particularly in India.
