Beans
Pinto, black, kidney and other types of beans contain a lot of protein. Among these, garbanzo beans or chickpeas are the richest sources. Each cooked cup, around 240 millimeters, contains up to 20 grams of protein. Beans are also rich in manganese, potassium, phosphorus, folate, iron, fiber, complex carbohydrates, and other beneficial plant compounds. Some studies have proved that a diet high in these foods would also help lower harmful cholesterol, reduce blood pressure, and control levels of blood sugar. [3]
