GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Green peas are at the top of the list of the most protein-filled vegetables. Technically, they’re legumes, but many of us consider them vegetables because of their bright green color and delicate flavor. You might be surprised by their protein content, though: a cup of green peas contains about 8 grams of protein.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fava Beans: With nearly 26.12 g/100 g, it’s the legume with the highest protein content. Fava beans are a nutritional powerhouse, providing ample carbohydrates, protein, fiber and vitamins, even when dried!

Detailed explanation-3: -Most beans provide between 29-36% of the DV for protein per cup cooked. Boiled soybeans (or edamame) provide a whopping 63% DV. Beans and legumes high in protein include soybeans, lentils, white beans, cranberry beans, split peas, pinto beans, kidney beans, black beans, navy beans, and limas.

Detailed explanation-4: -As a great source of dietary fiber and nutrients such as folate and potassium, beans are part of USDA’s MyPlate’s Vegetable Group (U.S. Department of Agriculture, n.d.). Similar to meats, poultry, and fish in their protein content and nutrients such as iron and zinc, beans are also part of the Protein Foods Group.
