Subject: Question about amino acids


> Greetings,
> I am seeking information regarding amino acids and what foods they occur
> in naturally.  I have found a list of amino acids at
> http://home.earthlink.net/~corbley/amino-acid.html but have yet to find
> a list of foods that one may eat raw to gather all the needed
> components.
>
> Clearly eating raw animal products would do the trick, but I was seeking
> to find out if there was another path perhaps by using veggies and
> fruits.  I know that some grains also do the trick, but eating them raw
> is hard to do and I find that grains need to make me feel quite ill
> anyway so that path is out for me.
>
> Any suggestions would be welcomed.  Also any info regarding essential
> fatty acids would be great too.

> Thanks.
