Here's info on high-protein grains, from my climber friend Andru, who compares them to soy.
- Add in hard red spring wheat from Montana.
"Amaranth, oats, buckwheat and quinoa all have more protein per 100g than soy (14.5g, 16g, 13.25g, 13g respectively). Each have all the essential amino acids, as good an essential fatty acid mix and none of the phyto-estrogens. Millet is good too, but has slightly less protein than soy.
The quinoa has a large amount of tryptophan (1g), arginine (0.9g) and phenylalanine (0.9g) all of which help speed up recovery."

I like quinoa, but washing the grains to get rid of the bitter saponin is really a pain.
Tried growing amaranth once...it was too cold in Bellingham. Now that I'm here, as is climate change, maybe its time to give it another go....

You should check out Chia Seeds. Much higher in protein.
