Expert Answer: How can I meet my protein needs through plants? Oct 27, 2021 | By Tara Schmidt (@taraschmidt)Comment receiving replies
Do any of those foods above have a complete set of protein amino acids? Don't we have to combine them with corn to get the missing ones? Peggy

Great question, @pfbacon! When considering a vegetarian or vegan diet, variety is key. There is no need to necessarily “pair” proteins at one meal time. There are some nutrients you are at risk of not obtaining enough of when animal products are taken out of the picture, but a well-planned eating pattern can absolutely be done.
