Good ol’ beans you might have been eating all along are actually boosting your protein content significantly.
LiveStrong has a list of particular beans that are especially high in protein content.
Among those beans are soybeans (we already mentioned edamame in the green soy variety), but yellow soybeans also pack a healthy protein punch.

Other high sources include navy beans (15.8-grams of protein per 1-cup serving), black beans (15.2-grams per 1-cup), and pinto beans (14-grams per 1-cup), says the source. Lentils are part of the legume family that beans are included in, and (uncooked) lentils have about 50-grams of protein per 1-cup, according to the USDA.
Legumes are fiber-rich plant-based foods that include beans, lentils, and peas.
Beans are a good source of fermentable fibers. This fiber moves into the large intestine and helps to feed the diverse colony of healthy bacteria in the gut.
