If meat was unavailable, what could you combine with rice to create a complete protein?
A
soy sauce
B
mushrooms
C
lentils
D
barley
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Combine legumes and whole grains for a complete protein. Examples include: rice and beans, lentils and barley, bulgur with beans or peanut butter on 100% whole wheat bread. Combing legumes with nuts and seeds also provides a complete protein.

Detailed explanation-2: -Grains, such as rice, oats, wheat, rye and corn, can act as complementary proteins for legumes such as lentils. They contain the cysteine and methionine that lentils lack, and lentils provide the lysine that grains do not contain enough of.

Detailed explanation-3: -The combination of beans and rice creates a complete protein. Beans alone and rice alone both lack certain essential amino acids. If eaten together, however, each contributes what the other is missing to form a complete protein.
