Mixing protein Sources

Many incomplete plant proteins such as pulses, lentils, potatoes, and rice are traditionally eaten in combination with other foods to make a complete protein when eaten as a meal. Vegetarians, therefore, need not worry about ?combining? foods to make complete proteins ? a vegetarian diet that is healthy and varied on a daily basis will provide an adequate and balanced intake of protein.
