It's not a myth. Your post just confirms this. The reason why beans and rice are combined is because they form complementary proteins. The combination of the two are a complete protein taken together. This was my response to the parent comment. The parent implied the need to combine either rice or beans with another protein is a myth. Beans and rice are both incomplete proteins. The combination of beans and rice is not a myth. People combine beans and rice because each of them have some of the amino acids you need, both of them together have all of them.
