People think pulses, vegetables and rice are protein rich diet.

Justify.

Yes, vegetables, pulses, and rice can be considered protein-rich


food sources, although to varying degrees.
Vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and kale
contain relatively high amounts of protein compared to other
types of vegetables, but still, their protein content is low
compared to animal-based sources like meat, eggs, and dairy.
The protein in vegetables is also considered "incomplete,"
meaning it doesn't contain all the essential amino acids your
body needs.
Pulses, on the other hand, are an excellent source of plant-based
protein. Lentils, chickpeas, and beans are all high in protein,
with lentils containing about 18 grams of protein per 100 grams,
making them an important source of protein for those following
a vegetarian or vegan diet. Additionally, pulses are a good
source of fiber, iron, and B-vitamins, making them a nutritious
addition to any diet.
Rice, especially brown rice, is also a good source of plant-based
protein. It contains about 5 grams of protein per 100 grams,
which is a moderate amount compared to other plant-based food
sources. Rice is also a staple food in many cultures and is an
affordable and easily accessible source of energy for many
people around the world.
While it is possible to get enough protein from a diet consisting
solely of plant-based foods, it is important to understand that
the quality and composition of protein can vary significantly
between food sources. Animal-based protein sources are
generally considered "complete" protein sources, meaning they
contain all the essential amino acids your body needs. Plant-
based protein sources, on the other hand, are often "incomplete"
and need to be combined with other plant-based foods to ensure
that you are getting all the essential amino acids your body
needs.
In conclusion, while vegetables, pulses, and rice are all sources
of protein, it is important to consider the quality and
composition of the protein they provide when planning a
balanced diet. Combining different plant-based food sources
can help ensure that you are getting enough of all the essential
amino acids your body needs.
