Top 5 best vegan protein sources
ET Online |
1/5
Beans
Beans such as kidney, black, pinto, and most other varieties are important staple foods in many cultures and contain a lot of protein per serving. Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are another type of protein-rich bean.
2/5
Nuts and seeds
Again, nuts and seeds are very versatile and can be eaten with meals or as a snack to ensure adequate protein and energy throughout the day.
3/5
Tofu
Tofu is made by pressing bean curds together in a process similar to cheesemaking. Tempeh, on the other hand, is made by cooking and slightly fermenting mature soybeans before pressing them into a block. Tofu has little flavour on its own, but it readily absorbs the flavour of the ingredients with which it is prepared. In comparison, tempeh has a distinct nutty flavour.

Lentils
They can be used to make everything from fresh salads to hearty soups and spice-infused dahls. Lentils are also high in fibre, with a single cup providing more than half of your daily fibre requirements.

Quina
Quinoa is a seed that comes in white, red, black, and mixed varieties. 100g of quinoa contains nearly 4g of protein, but it's also known as a complete protein, which means it contains all 22 amino acids, making it a great alternative to carbohydrates like rice and couscous.
