Hi, I am Jyothi Chabria. In this segment, I will be talking about 10 high protein vegetarian
sources of food. Its quite strange that the vegetarians are always worried whether their
protein content is being met or no. But, today in the market we have several several products
which are rich in protein. One major source of protein that we find is soya bean which
is one of the richest source of protein in vegetarian diets. Today you have options of
soya flour, you have options of soya milk, you have soya snacks, you have soya oil, several
products of soya available in the market today. Other sources of protein or protein rich foods
would include things like sprouts. Sprouts can be made out of all kind of beans, it can
be kidney beans, it could be green gram, it can be all the other pulses can also be sprouted
and used. Vegetarians are also now a days consume a lot of eggs, because eggs are no
more considered in non-vegetarian food group really speaking because, most of the eggs
are result of poultry farming, its not really fertilized or something like that. So, eggs
are almost considered vegetarian today. So another good source of protein would be eggs
and a lot of pulses, all the green gram, black gram, these are being used. In fact a mixture
of couple of pulses and legumes are being used. Nuts are a good source of protein in
vegetarian sources like almonds or you have the walnuts or you have sunflower seeds. These
are all good sources of protein in vegetarian diets. One of the other sources besides milk
of course is the whey protein which is, essentially when you set curd and the water that you get
on top is what people discard normally but, ideally speaking I don't think many people
know that, that is one of the richest sources of vegetarian protein as in it called whey
protein. It is even used in the pharma sector today to make certain drugs, because it gives
you the protein content that's far higher than lot of other protein sources in vegetarian foods.
