Plant Protein SourcesTable

Protein per cooked cup serving.

Complete Protein PairingStandard

Combine legume + grain (rice+beans, hummus+pita) for all essential amino acids.

Season Aggressively
Plant dishes need more acid, salt, and fat than meat — taste and adjust.
Buy Frozen Vegetables
Frozen veg is picked ripe — less waste than wilting fresh produce.
Prep Sauce Bases
Curry paste, tahini dressing, and salsa verde multiply meal options.

Rinse and cook legumes thoroughly — kidney beans need boiling 10 min to destroy lectins.
Store cooked grains 3-4 days refrigerated; freeze longer storage.
