minus-squareCuddlyCassowary@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·10 hours agoAny particular type of beans? Red? Black? Lentils? Does the type of rice matter? I’m intrigued by this possibility.

Both of them have protein, but not the full set of amino acids that the body requires in a certain proportion. Idk about vitamins, though.
minus-squareJohnnyEnzyme@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·9 hours ago Does the type of rice matter? Yes; make sure it’s whole grain. White rice is essentially junk food, with most of its fiber, vitamins & minerals stripped in the de-hulling process.
