Protein is most important for human body building and maintenance (bone and muscle) and function (enzymes, hormones, immune system, antibodies) and should be a regular part of our vegetarian meal.

Amino acids are the building blocks of the protein. There are 22 acids and not all of them can be produced by the human body. Therefore, the only way to provide them is by food. All the essential amino acids exist in food of animal origin. Vegetable protein is not sufficiently effective in tissue construction because it does not contain enough and correct sequence of amino acids.

The best sources for protein are eggs and cheese (for those who eat), soy products that are now acknowledged a high value biological protein, but not sufficient enough to rely on, legumes (pulses), cereals, nuts and seeds.

A suitable combination of cereals and legumes is strongly recommended in your diet to keep the necessary protein level.
