25 October, 2022If you are a vegetarian or choose a vegetarian method to lose weight, it is important to choose vegetables rich in protein to ensure enough nutrients for the body. It is not only meat that is a good source of protein, there are also vegetables that are very nutritious and rich in protein.
The following article will introduce you to 8 vegetables rich in protein and besides the nutritional benefits and methods of processing them to make them more delicious.
1. Lentils
Lentils contain a lot of protein and a large amount of micronutrients such as folate, thiamin, phosphorus and iron.
2. Edamame Soybeans
One cup (cup) of cooked edamame (also known as Japanese soybeans) with the skin on can contain up to 18g of protein.
3. Asparagus
Just 10 stalks of asparagus give you 4g of protein.
4. Beets
Beets also contain significant protein: a bowl of sliced beets contains 2.2g of protein. Furthermore, beets contain only a small amount of fat (in the form of healthy polyunsaturated fats).
5. Potatoes
Most people think that potatoes are high in carbohydrates. But potatoes also contain a significant amount of protein to help balance those carbs. Just one medium-sized potato gives you 4g of protein.
6. Broccoli
A bowl of broccoli contains 2.5g of protein and only 31 calories, and a bowl of steamed broccoli contains almost twice that amount: more than 4g of protein.
7. Cabbage
Like broccoli, bok choy (also known as bok choy or bok choy) is incredibly nutritious, with plenty of fiber, vitamin C, folate, calcium, vitamin B6 and beta carotene in each leaf. Similar to broccoli, bok choy contains a significant amount of protein: a bowl of cooked bok choy has about 2g of protein.
8. Peas
Half a cup of cooked, frozen peas contains 2.8g of protein plus 4.4g of fiber.
