Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The salad made with apples, pears, and grapes does not contain any protein source and therefore does not have complementary protein. The other options all have a combination of legumes, grains, or nuts, which create complementary protein. Kidney beans and rice provide essential amino acids, whole-wheat crackers and soy nut butter provide complete protein, and pita bread and mashed chickpeas create complementary protein.
