Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following are conisdererd “complimentary proteins”?
A
Pasta and tomato sauce
B
Red beans and brown rice
C
Spinach and olive oil
D
Crackers and cheese
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Rice and beans is an example of complementary protein.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Though brown rice has potential to be a great source of protein, it is not a complete protein because it lacks lysine and therefore needs to be combined with another lysine-containing protein such as collagen.

Detailed explanation-4: -Grains and legumes are called complementary proteins because when you combine them, you get all of the essential amino acids. Nuts and seeds are also complementary to legumes because they contain tryptophan, methionine and cysteine.

Detailed explanation-5: -This nutrient-packed dish is undeniably high in plant-based protein. Why? A 1-cup serving of cooked red beans (even before adding other sources of protein) clocks in at 15 grams of protein, and a typical bowl of red beans and rice clocks in at almost 30 grams of protein.
