No, this is the % on the food. It's actually listed as 6 g protein for 100 g drained cooked lentils.

I believe Grams are different than percentage.

I believe Grams are different than percentage.

in this case it is the same as a percentage since it is 6 grams out of 100 grams

I've been off and on vegetarian since my teens and have always been told to mix legumes with unrefined cereals for proteins and algae with citrus for iron.

I find this very strange. I have learned not to eat just cereals but the combination of beans and cereals for usable proteins. Or a in a combination with seeds or milk products.
And (green) veggies , or fromage blanc with vitamin C products for iron.

P.s. % percentage of proteins in dry beans is about 21,5% .

Yes, that's exactly what I meant. A meal with both cereals and legumes, beans are legumes. Or am I lost in translation again ?

yay - beans on toast!

Hummus on pita.

Does rice and beans count? I always learned that gave a person complete protein. Very yummy with lots of fried onions.

Yes definitely. Rice and tofu is based on the same idea. Complementary amino acids compensating mutual deficiency.

Sorry everyone. I was just really, really hungry when you all started talking about food. I have now eaten some couscous chickpea concoction and can stop telling everyone what I like to eat. Couscous and chickpeas probably counts too - but just to be sure I also had an egg.
