🌱 Harvest of the Month: Plant Protein@vermontfirst
This April, we’re bringing the plant power! 🌎
Looking to get one of the most essential macronutrients—protein—from plants? You’ve got options! From tofu and tempeh to beans, edamame, and seitan, plant-based proteins are versatile, delicious, and nourishing.💪
So what makes a plant a good protein source?
Proteins are made up of amino acids, which help your body build and repair, and turn food into fuel. While some plant proteins contain all essential amino acids (like soy!), others can be combined throughout the day to give your body everything it needs. 🌾✨
We get our plant-based proteins from Vermont Soy, Rhapsody Natural Foods, and Vermont Bean Crafters.🫘
As we celebrate Earth Month, we’re spotlighting ways to support a more sustainable food system—and plant proteins are a great place to start. They often require fewer natural resources to produce, making them a powerful choice for both personal and planetary health. 🌍💚
