10 High Protein Vegetables
High Protein Vegetable #3: Soybean Sprouts
Soybeans, like other beans is a rich source of protein. But what about soybean sprouts? It turns out that you can get similarly high amounts of protein from sprouted soybeans. One cup of soybean sprouts weighing about 70 grams contains 9.2 grams of protein. This is nearly half the protein you would get from the dried soybeans. But it is still about 16 percent of the recommended dietary allowance of protein per day for an average adult male.
It therefore makes sense to include soybean sprouts in your diet. Soybean sprouts also contain fiber, carbohydrate and vitamins C, folate and K.
