Most plants don’t contain large amounts of protein and some lack essential amino acids.

A wide variety of plant protein will enable the body to receive sufficient amino acids to form complete proteins.

Partnering plant food groups that don’t contain all the essential amino acids with complementary plants that don’t contain all essential amino acids in a meal, will create a complete protein.

Beans complement nuts and seeds and/or grains, to create a complete protein. Grains are not complemented by nuts and seeds.

To optimize plant products, soak and Sprout the beans to increase minerals and protein bio availability. This can help with iron absorption and reduce phytic acid.
