But do not include all the nutrients your body needs for a long and healthy life.
There sure are worse options than beans though.
I want you,
I need you,
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna live on you,
Now don't be sad, ^don't ^be ^sad
No, cause 19 of 20 ain't bad.
They don't? Are you sure?
I feel like beans are one of the few foods that do include all the nutrients you need.
It's like them and quinoa.
No but rice contains the rest.
Interesting, what does rice have that beans don't?
I've always understood beans to be one of the very few foods that include everything.
Fat, protein, carbs, all the vitamins
Essential amino acids, I believe. That’s why the rice is key, it has those the beans are lacking.
Ah, you're right.
Wow, so quinoa is the remaining champion.
So long, beans. Pretty close though.
Beans and rice are pretty great together. And you can freeze rice (something I just learned recently)
I grew up with freezer bags of cooked rice from my parents.
Seems a little crazy considering how easy and quick it is to cook rice.
I wonder what the advantages are.
The only one I know of is that if you want to cook fried rice, it's way better if you have it in the fridge overnight because it dries out a little and then it soaks up all the flavors when you cook it the next day.
And hempseed. Gruel is a complete protein, it's just cheap so most people haven't ever even tried it. It's kinda like a weird tasting grits or porridge
Hempseed porridge?
Okay.
Does that taste Good?
Cuz quinoa tastes good and you can add it oyster sauce and hot sauce and all this good stuff without contradicting flavor profiles.
It's certainly an interesting flavor profile. On the savory bitter side, but with some spices I bet you could make a curry flavored porridge, or even something like a General Tso's. It basically tastes nutty and bitter with a tiny hint of grass.
They don't contain one of the 20 essential amino acids. Namely methionine. Nuts, seeds, legumes, and grains contain it though, so you can pair beans with your favorite one of those to have a complete protein.
Tofu is just lacking in methionine, not completely devoid of it, but you should have another source.
