ProteinTally

Rankings

Ranked by protein per typical serving

Highest-protein vegan foods

Plant-only protein sources ranked by protein per typical serving - soy, legumes, grains, nuts, seeds, vegetables, and plant protein powders. No dairy, egg, meat, or seafood.

433 of the 796 foods in the ProteinTally database contain no animal ingredients. Servings differ between foods - each row states the one it is quoting, and the per-100 g list compares them all on equal weight.
