Lentil soup contains many valuable, plant protein – sometimes more than the protein content of animal products.

Wheat sprouts. They contain about 28 g of protein per 100 g of weight, as well as more than 70 important nutrients and fiber, distinguished by a large amount of folic acid. Their other ingredient, vitamin E, which is also abundant, provides good skin, helps prevent dementia.

Pumpkin seeds. Contains 19 g of protein (per 100 g of weight). What is important: they provide eight essential amino acids, which makes their protein very valuable. The advantage of lentils is their high
