Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Proteins are made from amino acids, same as words are made from letters. If you eat a protein source that's short on some of those letters then you need to mix it with a source that has more of them... Otherwise you can't create all the proteins that you need. (It's a bit more complicated, but that's the bit that you need here)
That's actually fascinating, I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing!
yes, iirc Quinoa is pretty good complete vegan protein other pulses and grains not so much.
Which pulses? AFAIK all of the common ones have plenty of the essential aminos. With grains it can go either way, rice and wheat for example aren't great sources of specific aminos, but oats and quinoa are good.
You must have triggered some vegan to get a downvote. Yeah you need the 9 essential amino acids in your diet as your body can't synthesize them. They're called essential for a reason.
