Cost by Protein Source - Lemmy.ca

how legumes have more protein per weight than ground beef?
80% ground beef is 20% fat
80/20 ground beef has 17g of protein per 100g, lentils have 9g per 100g
maybe its per dry solids? yeah something doesnt seem right though.

Yes, that’s what it is, which is a useless metric.

Cooked Pinto beans are 9 grams of protein per 100 grams.

I wouldn’t say so, since it’s a comparison of price vs protein. You don’t tend to buy wet beans (unless they’re canned), so it’s a reasonable graph considering.
