contain incomplete proteins one needs to consume a variety with complementary amino acid profiles in order to prevent the development of an amino acid deficiency over time.

There are 20 amino acids that make up
proteins, the essential 9 amino acids can not be produced by the body and must be received through the diet, most plant based sources only
contain a handful of the 9 we need and therefore we must eat a range of these
incomplete proteins to ensure we consume all of the 9, for example, by combining lentils and nuts all of the essential amino acids will be present as they are complimentary to one another.

She believed plants
contained «
