A comprehensive guide to vegetarian proteins
There’s no reason that a vegetarian — or vegan — diet has to be protein deficient
Whoever said vegetarians can’t get enough protein was just plain wrong. With beans and lentils, nuts, eggs and protein-packed whole grains like quinoa all as options, there’s no reason that a vegetarian — or vegan — diet has to be protein deficient.
Here’s how the vegetarian proteins compare in terms of protein content per 100 grams:
- Edamame: 11 grams
- Tofu: 8 grams
- Tempeh: 19 grams
- Textured Soy Protein: 50 grams
- Seitan: 75 grams
