1. QUINOA<br />
Quinoa is a grain crop grown for<br />
its edible cereal-like seeds. Quinoa<br />
varieties include mixed, red, black<br />
<strong>and</strong> white. If you do not eat meat,<br />
you can include quinoa in your diet.<br />
Just 100 grams of this superfood<br />
can supply your body with 4 grams<br />
of protein. It’s a complete protein<br />
source <strong>and</strong> is also packed with<br />
B-vitamins <strong>and</strong> dietary fibre. It’s<br />
also a great alternative to couscous<br />
or rice.<br />
2. TOFU<br />
Bean curd or tofu is a great protein<br />
source containing eight grams<br />
of protein per 100 grams. It is a<br />
versatile food that you can add to<br />
different dishes. You can also bake<br />
or add it to your favourite stir-fry.<br />
Alternatively, you can add tofu into<br />
soup to make it more nutritious.<br />
3. EZEKIEL BREAD<br />
Every two slices of Ezekiel bread<br />
yields eight grams of protein.<br />
This bread is a combination of<br />
spelt, millet, lentils, beans <strong>and</strong><br />
barley. Since it is loaded with a<br />
good amount of fibre, it improves<br />
digestion <strong>and</strong> aids in weight loss.<br />
4. BUCKWHEAT<br />
A cup of cooked buckwheat<br />
contains about six grams of protein.<br />
Commonly mistaken as a type<br />
of grain, buckwheat is actually<br />
a relative of rhubarb <strong>and</strong> also<br />
cultivated as a cover crop. Owing<br />
to its rutin content, buckwheat<br />
also helps lower blood cholesterol<br />
<strong>and</strong> blood pressure. Rutin is a<br />
phytonutrient that helps stabilise<br />
blood pressure <strong>and</strong> reduce bad<br />
cholesterol.<br />
5. PULSES<br />
Pulses, also known as legume<br />
seeds, are common <strong>and</strong> widelyavailable<br />
food sources all over the<br />
world. Pulses pertain to the edible<br />
seeds of legumes which grow in a<br />
pod, <strong>and</strong> a few examples include<br />
peas, beans <strong>and</strong> lentils. A few<br />
other examples are garden peas,<br />
chickpeas, pinto <strong>and</strong> kidney beans.<br />
You might also try baked beans, but<br />
make sure that you watch out its<br />
salt content.<br />
6. SOY<br />
Soy is a complete protein source.<br />
It contains twelve grams of protein<br />
per half a cup of tofu serving. It<br />
is a go-to veggie protein source<br />
among dieters looking for a healthy<br />
amino acid high food that deserves<br />
an applause. Other popular soy<br />
food products include natto <strong>and</strong><br />
tempeh, a traditional Indonesian<br />
soy product made from fermented<br />
soybeans. If going for tofu, look for<br />
a firm one to ensure it contains a<br />
high amount of protein.<br />
