Explain complete and incomplete proteins and why this is relevant to health and certain groups of eaters
What will be an ideal response?
Although all animal sources of protein contain the total essential amino acids and are therefore known as complete proteins, individual foods from different plant sources may be lacking one or more of them. Most plant proteins are therefore known as incomplete proteins. An exception is soy, a legume that is often used by vegetarians for its protein content because it is a plant source that has all the essential amino acids. Generally, a good combination of foods that contain plant protein such as nuts, seeds, grains, legumes, and vegetables will provide all the amino acids the body needs. As a legume, beans are an excellent source of protein that additionally contain beneficial zinc, potassium, and fiber. Vegans (i.e., individuals who eat no animal sources of food) need to be careful that they consume the right combination of plant-based foods (e.g., beans and rice combined) to ensure that they receive all their essential amino acids.
