That's a very common misbelief, getting protein as a vegetarian is not hard really, particularly if you have soy or quinoa in your diet, the latter being the preferable option. Cooking quinoa with kombu is delicious, super easy and can yield a wide variety of dishes.

- jadyoyster 14y agoI agree that for most lifestyles getting enough protein as a vegetarian or vegan isn't hard. However, why would you suggest something exotic like quinoa instead of lentils and beans which have been used as a source of protein for millenia? I've never understood the exotic ingredient or 'superfood' fetishism in vegetarian diets.
- heelhook 14y agoExotic? Really? Hmmm, I don't really seem them as exotic, I (now) find quinoa in regular supermarkets. Obviously I wasn't proposing basing a vegetarian diet after only soy and quinoa, I was just naming a couple of examples of protein rich foods.
