In reply to evilcyber. Yeah, you could plant it for your own. I was thinking of it as more of a joke because of the THC, but it's not as comparable to the levels in marijuana I guess :p

In reply to Dana. Glad you found it useful, Dana! I too find the per 100 g listing easier, because if you do it as cups, you knever know exactly how many calories you end up with.

In reply to Fraser. Nice suggestion! Planting something yourself is an excellent idea as well!

Thanks for this post! I’ve never seen the actual per 100g protein values written down like that. Super helpful 🙂 It’s crazy how the calorie counts can creep up like that though!

What about the sprouted beans? After getting prouted their protein content increases dramatically.

Vegans may want to especially consider hemp seeds. They’re nutritious like Soybeans. E.g. omega 3 balance, complete protein. Hemp seeds avoid the controversy like the Trypson enzyme inhibitor or hormonal concern (I believe) that you’d find in soybeans. A downside is probably that hemp protein packs more calories per gram of protein. You could get the more isolated version, but cost might be a factor, there. At a minimum, it’s a great supplement to avoid complete reliance on soybeans/diet variety. Or you could plant them behind your barn.
