Protein combination

Not all proteins are made equally, some have an amino acid profile which is very good for what our body needs. Others need to be combined in order to achieve this high quality.

High quality protein

In order or quality and digestibility.

• Eggs

• Dairy

• Fish

• Meats

• Soy (tempeh, tofu, edamame)

• Quinoa

• Buckwheat

• Amaranth

Combinations

To achieve the same quality with other plant-based products combine grains with pulses at a general ratio of 2:1. For example:

• Brown rice and lentils

• Corn tortillas and black beans

• Pasta and cannellini beans

• Pita bread and hummus

• Sorghum and chickpeas
