Did you know that all plants contain protein?  Some plants, like peas, are very protein rich with 7 grams of protein in a 3.5 oz serving!  By combining several veggies together, you can actually create a protein-rich meal.
We’ve put together a chart to show the protein and fat content of many common vegetables courtesy of weightlossforall.com and the Vegetarian Resource Group:
