Generally, legumes have higher content of protein than vegetables and fruits. The advantage of plant protein sources over animal protein is that plant protein sources are low in fat content and high in dietary fiber. Nonetheless, protein in plants (except soybean) is incomplete, meaning all the essenatial and non-essential amino acids are not present in a single plant. In the following table is protein content of foods. High protein foods are at the top and those with low protein content at the bottom. Protein sources Protein content (% of dry matter) Asparagus, frozen 36.10 Broccoli, frozen 33.60 Peanuts 29.57 Cauliflower, cooked 27.34 Peas, black eyed, frozen 27.00 Noodles, egg, cooked 19.45 Bean, green, frozen 18.10 Bread, whole wheat 17.13 Walnuts 16.72 Spagheti, whole wheat 15.87 Macaroni 15.54 Bread, white 14.33 Potato, with skin, baked 11.74 Canteloupe 11.33 Celery 11.24 Avocado 10.65 Strawberry, fresh 7.53 Rice, boiled 7.32 Navel orange 7.21 Carrots, cooked 6.46 Watermelon 6.40 Banana 5.14 Raisin, seedless 3.88 Peaches, canned 3.68 Blueberry 3.25 Pineapple, canned 2.93 Apple, juice 0.50 Apple, Red Delicious, peeled 0.32 Suzi List Owner health/ http://360./suziesgoats What is a weed?
