Plant protein is a nutrient-rich, versatile protein source derived from plants like legumes, grains, nuts, seeds, and soy. Common examples include lentils, chickpeas, quinoa, tofu, tempeh, and pea protein. These ingredients are staples in cuisines worldwide, including Mediterranean, Asian, and Latin American diets. Packed with essential amino acids, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, plant protein supports muscle growth, digestion, and heart health while being naturally low in saturated fat and cholesterol. It is also free from many allergens found in animal products, making it a popular choice for vegetarians, vegans, and those with dietary sensitivities. However, not all plant proteins are complete, meaning they may need to be combined with other foods to provide all essential amino acids. When minimally processed, plant proteins are a healthy, sustainable alternative to animal-based proteins, contributing to both personal well-being and environmental conservation.
