80/20 ground beef has 17g of protein per 100g, lentils have 9g per 100g

maybe its per dry solids? yeah something doesnt seem right though.

Yes, that's what it is, which is a useless metric.

Cooked Pinto beans are 9 grams of protein per 100 grams.

I wouldn't say so, since it's a comparison of price vs protein. You don't tend to buy wet beans (unless they're canned), so it's a reasonable graph considering.

Yeah, it's dry weight. I just checked the labels on my beans at home. They all approximately 7g protein per 35g beans (i.e. 20g protein per 100g beans).
