pflanzliche Proteine

Some people are under the false impression that all non-soy plant proteins are completely devoid of at least one essential amino acid. The truth is that all plant proteins have some of every essential amino acid (see Table 3). Legumes are lower in the amino acid methionine while most other plants foods are lower in lysine.

In an effort to make sure vegetarians were getting enough of all the amino acids, in the early 1970s in her book Diet for a Small Planet, Frances Moore Lappe popularized the idea of combining plant proteins at each meal in order to get a "complete" protein. By mixing beans and grains, you can make sure that you are getting both methionine and lysine at each meal.
