Foods With Most Aspartic Acid and Glutamic Acid
Here is a list of foods having the highest content of amino acids with acid groups
comprising aspartic acid (Asp) and glutamic acid (Glu) in g per 100 grams of food.
The corresponding amino acids with amide groups are asparagine (Asn) and glutamine
(Gln).
Since the acid forms are easily converted to the amide forms and vice versa, the
tables below for the acid forms are for the acid and amide forms taken together.
Since you may also be interested in foods with a high amino acid content AND few
calories, the list also includes the number of calories.
The information is based on the public USDA National Nutrient Database. Commercial
brand products are not included in this list.
