No vegetable has more protein than an egg. Eggs are a fantastic source of protein, providing around 6 grams per large egg. While some vegetables are good sources of protein, they typically contain much less protein per serving than eggs.
Here are some examples of vegetables with relatively high protein content:
- Lentils: 18 grams of protein per cooked cup.
- Edamame: 17 grams of protein per cooked cup.
- Spinach: 5 grams of protein per cooked cup.
- Broccoli: 3 grams of protein per cooked cup.
While these vegetables offer a good amount of protein, they still fall short of the protein content found in a single egg.
