Do You Know What Proteins Are?

Some people wonder what proteins are.

Proteins are really important!

Proteins furnish the building blocks for the muscles, the heart, lungs, blood, liver, the enzymes, everything!

Protein is necessary for growth, repair of the body and blood clotting, for example.

Where do you find protein?

Animals are the source of complete proteins- meaning it has ALL the necessary building blocks.

In stores, you will find beef, lamb, pork, elk, venison, buffalo, fish and other sea food, milk and dairy products, eggs, cheese.

Plants supply incomplete proteins – meaning they have MOST of the building blocks.

In stores, you will find beans, nuts, seeds and grains.

They are packaged in a variety of forms including fresh, frozen, refrigerated, canned and/or dried.

Happy shopping!
