Protein on a Vegetarian Diet

Protein on a Vegetarian Diet

It’s hard to get too much protein, so vegetarians and vegans usually don’t have to worry about this. However, it’s still good to know your best protein sources. Research shows that this may be a more important question for vegetarians and vegans who want to stay healthy. For example, spinach has a lot of iron, but the body can’t use it as well as it can use iron from meat. From a purely culinary point of view, high-protein plant foods can also fill the texture and flavor gaps that meat and animal products often leave.
