The term "plant-based protein" describes protein that comes from plants as opposed to animal sources including dairy, eggs, and meat. A vast range of foods fall under this category, including grains like quinoa and oats, nuts, seeds (including hemp and chia), legumes (like beans and lentils), and certain vegetables (like spinach and broccoli). Proteins derived from plants are becoming more and more popular because of their ethical implications, environmental sustainability, and health benefits. Generally speaking, they have less cholesterol and saturated fats than animal proteins but are higher in fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
