An example of a meal that contains complementary proteins is
a. pasta and tomato sauce.
b. split pea soup with crackers.
c. oatmeal and buttered toast.
d. fruit yogurt with strawberries.
B
Split pea soup with crackers contains complementary proteins; the incomplete legume protein in the split pea soup complements the incomplete grain protein in the crackers. Vegetables such as tomato sauce and fruit such as strawberries do not contain sufficient protein to complement another incomplete protein in a meal. Oatmeal and toast are both grains and so their incomplete proteins are not complementary. Fruit yogurt contains complete protein and does not need to be combined with an incomplete protein.
