Do mind that the body can only use about half the protein in wheat, compared the somewhere in the 90s % for whey, for example.

Maybe, but how does wheat protein compare to rice protein?

Very well in general. As a protein whey is unbeatable on bioavailibity and completion, especially considering cost per kg.

The poster you're replying to was asking about wheat vs rice protein, not whey.

Biggest problem is that it has an absolutely disgusting texture, for me at least.

I think you're misinterpreting whatever metric you got those numbers from (bioligocal value[1] maybe?).

When I look up human ileal digestibility of wheat protein, I see 90% absorption with the same nitrogen retention of milk (65%).
