minus-squareexpatriado@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months ago80/20 ground beef has 17g of protein per 100g, lentils have 9g per 100g
minus-squareCraigeryTheKid@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agomaybe its per dry solids? yeah something doesnt seem right though.
minus-squareCheradenine@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoYes, that’s what it is, which is a useless metric. Cooked Pinto beans are 9 grams of protein per 100 grams.
minus-squarehowrar@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoYeah, it’s dry weight. I just checked the labels on my beans at home. They all approximately 7g protein per 35g beans (i.e. 20g protein per 100g beans).
