COMPLETE PROTEIN

EATING PLANT BASE COMPLETE PROTEIN IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR VEGETARIANS AND VEGANS 

WHAT IS A COMPLETE PROTEIN?
Protein is made up of amino acids. The human body uses 20 amino acids but 9 of these amino acids cannot be produced by the human body so they need to come from what we eat. A food is considered "complete" if it contains the 9 amino acids that the body cannot produce.However we need to really know the amount of complete protein we are ingesting through a plant base diet because even if a plant food source is a complete protein it might not have adequate amounts.

Plant-based foods that are a source of complete protein:
- Quinoa
- Chia seeds
- Pumpkin Seeds
- Hempseed
- Soybeans
- Buckwheat
- Spirulina
- Tempeh
- Amaranth
- Edamame
Blue-green algae -> read article from WebMed before taking Blue-green algae
