What can I do with these foods?
Foods from this high protein food group (Lean meat and poultry, fish, eggs, tofu, nuts and seeds, and legume/beans) often form the main part of a meal, particularly in the evening or for the largest meal of the day. With such culturally diversity in the Australian population, there are endless ways to prepare these foods.
Eggs are a very valuable source of low cost, easy to prepare protein and they are especially useful for older people and children.
Nuts and seeds can be included in meals and snacks in a variety of ways, including alone in dishes such as salads, vegetables, various main course dishes and breakfast cereals or in food products such as breads and spreads.
Legumes and beans provide a valuable and cost efficient source of protein, iron, some essential fatty acids, soluble and insoluble dietary fire and micronutrients. These are particularly important for those consuming vegetarian meals.
