Protein in Peas can be improved

The protein in peas is of poorer quality than protein in eggs, meat and fish however if peas protein is combined with various other plant foods it produces a complete protein source. An example would be rice and peas. The two foods go well together because pea proteins lacks certain amino acids necessary for growth, these are present in the rice making the meal a complete protein source.

If all essential amino acids are not present the protein in peas cannot be used for growth or maintenance of tissues. In this case the protein in peas is often burned as fuel or may be converted into fat and stored.
