GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLES = NITROGEN = AMINO ACIDS = PROTEIN
.
The human body requires 20 AMINO ACIDS for correct and normal health. Fortunately, 11 of these acids are manufactured in-house by the human body, however 9 of these acids are not. This means, they must enter the body through your diet
.
Although eggs, dairy and meat are excellent sources of amino acids (considered complete proteins), vegetables can also be used to balance out your healthy daily intake of protein
.
PROTEIN from plants can be considered in three forms
.
A) INCOMPLETE PROTEIN - A vast majority of plant based food falls in this category. They are missing one (or more) of the 9 essential amino acids. Examples are starchy vegetables like sweet potatoes
.
B) COMPLEMENTARY PROTEIN - Leafy greens like SWISS CHARD (photo) contain very high levels of some amino acids like lysine and leucine but may be low in others and you may need to complement a deficient or non-existent amino acid with another vegetable to maintain your daily ‘balanced’ amino acid uptake
.
C) COMPLETE PROTEINS - very few vegetables exhibit the properties of having all 9 essential amino acids. Soy can be considered as one of those exceptions

Rhubarb chard you stunning thing. This is still growing strong after being sown last year. I’m growing a whole multitude of colours this year (bright lights) selection along with a silver white variety.
.
I’ve been busy planning what I’m going to put where in my small plot and the chard will fit in nicely in separate rows alongside the dwarf beans. So it will be a row of green dwarf beans, row of one colour of chard, row of purple dwarf beans row of another colour of chard. Well that’s the plan. But we will see as what I can fit on paper doesn’t necessarily mean it will fit in situ. .
Have a lovely Thursday everyone! Neeeearly weekend!!

From @urbanveggiepatch - My Rainbow Chard is being relocated today which meant harvest time and of course I had to do the obligatory Chard pic because, let’s face it, it’s a pretty photogenic vegetable!!
.
Oh, and did I mention it’s one of the easiest veggies to grow?

Starting the day with some big, bright and beautiful chard from the garden. I love the sweet, earthy flavour and the breathtaking neon colours. .
