James, i'm basing completeness not on quantitiy, but on quality.
The composition of amino-acids in the protein, which means how close
this composition come
s to the actual needs of a human. It is a measure
how much of this protein will then actually be needed.
I'm referring to tests (bilanztest) made on humans by:
Max-Plank-Institut für Ernährungsphysiologie
in Dortmund, Dr. Ernst Kofrany 1971
Here some of the results compared to the value of eggs (Egg=100)
potatoe/egg 136 (1+1/2 eggs to 1500 grams Potatoe)
milk/wheat 109 ( 75% milkprotein )
maize/beans 100 (1 cup Beans to 2 cups maize)
egg 100
meat/gelatine 99 (17% gelatine is optimum)
meat 91
milk of cow 88 (alone)
beans 79 "
maize 72 "
wheat 51 "
gelatine 0 "
Here comes the famous potatoe/egg mixture from
(best protein they found).

Amadeus
