ABSTRACT

Beans are rich in protein, carbohydrate, dietary fibre, and are a good source of antioxidants, as well as vitamins and minerals (Campos-Veja et al., 2010; Luthria & Pastor-Corrales, 2006). Animal proteins are better assimilated than vegetable proteins because plant proteins are deficient in sulphur amino acids (methionine and cysteine), and tryptophan. Therefore, a diet that combines protein-containing foods with complementary cereal amino acids is important to gain the complete amino acid pool (Karababa, 2006; Melo et al., 2012).
