HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -Combinations include: Nuts or seeds with whole grains (peanut butter on whole wheat toast) Whole grains with beans (beans and rice; hummus and pita bread; bean-based chili and crackers; refried beans and tortillas)

Detailed explanation-2: -Nut butter is also a source of protein, which is essential for building and repairing muscles. Although peanut butter is not a complete protein-meaning it does not contain all of the essential amino acids the body needs-it does count toward a person’s daily protein intake.

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.

Detailed explanation-4: -The protein in peanuts Most plant proteins are incomplete sources of protein, meaning that they lack one or more essential amino acids. Peanuts, however, are a complete source of protein, meaning that they contain all eight essential amino acids in sufficient amounts.
