Legumes

One of the top plant-based protein sources is legumes. They are a staple in many countries since they are affordable and highly nutritious. Legumes have a number of positive health effects. They are one of the best sources of plant-based protein and have an outstanding nutritional profile.

Lentils, chickpeas, soybeans, and peanuts are other members of the legume family that are high in potassium. For instance, a 1-cup (198-gram) serving of lentils has 15% of the daily value (DV) for the mineral, compared to 10%, 19%, and 23% of the DV in the same servings of chickpeas, soybeans, and peanuts. Phytates are present in some legumes, including lentils and chickpeas. To lower their phytate level, keep in mind to soak them overnight. Sprouting them is another option.
