Does anyone know a good website to locate a full list of Vegetable Proteins?

I've tried but all I run into it people trying to sell their products.

Please help!

Thanks!

A good start... but you won't get it handed to you straight up, is www.nutritiondata.com

Look up asparagus and then you *should* be able to locate vegetables that contain proteins from there. (It's down in the detailed part of the nutrition info -- something like what foods you can combine with others to make complete proteins.)

Do a "Find in Page" for "Protein Complements"... it's a start.

Here's a few links, and I also pasted on a list that I had saved of the protein values in lots of different types of foods. Hope this helps! :)

I find it interesting to know about protein, but it's not really necessary for most vegetarians.

If you're a healthy adult, and eat a variety of foods, you will get enough protein.

If you're feeding a child, or are very athletic, or have a medical condition that requires higher levels of protein, there are some very basic rules:

Grains are missing one of the proteins.
Legumes (beans, lentils, etc.) and nuts are missing one or two different proteins.

Eat some grains as part of your diet. Eat some legumes and/or nuts as part of your diet.
Your body can store protein for only about a day - you need to eat the grain and legume/nut in the same day (though not necessarily the same meal).
And that's it, folks!

Yes, if you simply eat enough whole vegan foods to satisfy hunger, you'll get more than enough protein. In fact, there is no such thing as protein deficiency - it's called protein/calorie malnutrition, meaning Starvation. It is impossible to become deficient while eating until you're full, unless you were to eat only sugar and gummy bears! In experiments done to study deficiency, scientists had to monkey with the foods (strip them of protein) to get an experimental diet that would create a true deficiency.
