Diet

Part of the Ambrolio Foods site is dedicated to special diets such as gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, and low fat.

All of these special diets share an emphasis on whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and fresh fruits/vegetables that are in season.

Only the gluten-free and low fat diets may rely on lean sources of animal protein as an integral part of meal planning.

For special diets that are vegetarian or vegan, the good news is that plant protein is thought to be a perfectly reliable source of protein. And, to make things easier, current nutrition science says that it’s no longer necessary to complement proteins from various foods within a meal in order to form complete amino acids.
