Abstract:
Twenty-three seeds of different botanical families growing in India were analysed for their protein content and amino acid compositions. They showed a wide variation in their total protein (8.0 to 42.7%). Some of them were comparable and some were even better than popular food legumes such as kidney bean and chick-pea in protein levels and amino acid compositions.
