Top 10 Foods High in Lysine

Legumes

Legume is a general term that can be used to include a wide variety of seeds from the legume family. Some common options include peanuts, soybeans, lentils, chickpeas, peas, and beans. Different types can vary greatly in use, taste, appearance, and nutrition. But most of them are rich in lysine. Soy-based products like soy milk, tofu, or tempeh can provide sufficient lysine for the body to produce protein. Similarly, you can ensure an adequate intake with different bean categories, such as black beans, navy beans, or kidney beans. [2]
