20. Soybeans

Soybeans are often considered the number one source of vegetable protein. One cup of boiled soybeans provides more than 20 grams. The main proteins in soybeans are glycinin and conglycinin. Unfortunately, heat denatures these proteins, so raw soybeans are a better source than cooked soybeans. Luckily, products like tofu and soy milk can contribute those important nutrients.
