Protein

[Guest joshdonlan]

What is the most economic source of protein to bulk up a home made mix? What sizes are beans? Would they be too big for Birmingham Rollers?

 

Thanks

tried beans on rollers long time ago and it was a waste if i was you look to get hold of tares there are just as good and a lot smaller

Best thing you can do is visit a grain merchant and ask for samples.

are they similar to maples?

maples and tares.. you can get small maris bead beans,, very hard to get hold of but the same size as a maple pea..

 

or just buy protein powder off the net .. or wait until holland and barret are half price..  vanilla is ok.. lol..

 

best of luck
