What ratio of rice is needed for lentils to be a "complete protein"?
I realize this was asked before, but I insist it was never answered. I am biased because I had the same question, but within 2 seconds I saw the moderator's answered missed the actual question.
Not only is ratio relevant - it IS the question. The question wasn't about nutritional advice or dietary statistics. There are x amount of essential amino acids and y amount of those cannot be converted by the human body. It is implied by putting "complete protein" in quotes that the question is referring to this aforementioned fact.
If rice contains n grams of protein, "k", per m grams of rice and lentils contain j grams of protein "l" (a "complete" compliment to "k"), then what is the ratio of lentils to rice that makes a complete protein?
The point was to be able to find someone else asking the same question and not have to do the research ourselves. If no one can answer, I guess I'll just do the research and answer my own question so that others asking the same question can find this answer.
sidebar: perhaps irrelevant now that LLM search bots are freely available. I wonder if a predictor of words can appear to ascertain the meaning of the question within a few seconds as well.
