Three nutrients in human body: carbohydrate, protein and lipid. These three nutrients are indispensable to maintain the normal metabolism of the human body. Meat is a good source of protein. Monks can't eat meat. What can we do?

Don't worry! Don't worry!

There is a two-part allegorical saying: Monks don't eat tofu-strange (fasting).

The monk's food is mainly beans, and tofu is the most common in the monk's vegetarian menu.

Can simple tofu solve the protein problem?

This will involve the source of protein.

Food sources in protein are divided into plant protein and animal protein. And all the protein that monks need is taken from plant protein. The grain contains about 10% of protein. Although this content is not too high, it is still the main source of dietary protein because it is a staple food with a large intake.

Another very important source is beans, which are rich in protein, especially the protein content of soybeans is as high as 36%~40%, and the composition and structural proportion of amino acids are reasonable, so it belongs to high-quality protein, so soybean protein is a very good protein in protein.

In addition, some vegetables are also rich in protein, such as bacteria and algae. Among them, Nostoc flagelliforme, Lentinus edodes and mushrooms have the richest protein content, accounting for more than 20%. Moreover, the amino acid composition of these protein is relatively balanced, belonging to the easily absorbed high-quality protein.

Protein content in nuts such as walnuts, hazelnuts and peanuts is not low.

Therefore, although monks can't take animal protein from meat, they can fully meet the needs of the body because they eat more beans and plant protein from bacteria, algae, vegetables and nuts.

Don't worry about monks ~
