Detailed explanation-1: -Jacks adds that pea protein, unlike many other plant-based proteins, is a “complete” protein similar to meat, meaning it is a source of all nine essential amino acids that are vital for maintaining a healthy, well-functioning body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Pea is high in protein-about 7.9 grams per cup. However, pea provides only 8 of the 9 essential amino acids sufficiently-it is a little low on methionine. Pea pairs well with brazil nut, pili nut, chia seeds, sesame seeds or wild rice to create a complete protein profile.
Detailed explanation-3: -Examples of incomplete proteins While many of the complete proteins are meat-based, incomplete proteins are more vegetarian-and vegan-friendly. They include: Legumes (beans, peas, lentils). Nuts.
Detailed explanation-4: -Carrot is low in protein, and is high in leucine and methionine, complementing the profile of baby carrot. For example, 10 baby carrots (150g) and 1.7 carrots (126g) make a complete amino acids profile. In fact, any ratio of more than 0.8:1 of carrot to baby carrot will be complete.
