Top 10 Foods High in Lysine

Grains

Just like nuts and seeds, grains are not often high in lysine, but there are several notable exceptions. Some of them include seitan, buckwheat, amaranth, and quinoa. They can provide your body with sufficient lysine and protein for normal development. You can easily add them into your daily meals on salads, sandwiches, or even meat. Just be careful when you are sensitive to wheat or have celiac disease as many grains are originated from gluten ingredients. [4]
