What are the sources of plant protein?

Plant proteins

Include a higher proportion of plant proteins over animal ones. Sources of proteins from milk, eggs, tofu and organ meats, such as liver, have very little or no heterocyclic aromatic amines (HCA-toxin) content even when cooked. Look at using a wide range of lentils, split peas and a vast range of beans from the black-eyed to the broad, butter and kidney. Try using soy products such as beans, milk, cheese and tofu. Adding them to a pasta sauce or soup will add up to the flavour of the dish.
