Have you ever noticed that sometimes the same amount of protein can have a different “% Daily Value” on a nutrition label? Probably not. But I’m going to tell you about why it can happen. PDCAAS is a scale from 0-1 based on both protein digestibility and the amount of essential amino acids (the protein building blocks we need to eat to survive) in a food.
