Review & Description
The USDA recommendation for an average 140lb adult is a minimum of 50 grams of protein per day. Without sufficient protein the body will consume its own muscle mass to meet protein needs. Many common gardening plants are very low in protein and require consumption of a huge volume to meet 50g. A select few vegetables (beans, peas and broccoli) are high in protein which allow you to meet 50g easily, and should be the focus of your preparations. In order to get 50g daily protein from each food source you would have to eat... 38 beets or 70 carrots or 26 cucumbers or 49 peppers or 73 radishes or --here's where it gets interesting-- 1.2 cups of black beans! or 6 cups of peas! or 3 bunches of broccoli! (Sources: USDA recommendations; USDA food database.) Why not hunt meat for protein in a survival scenario?... Because the other 44+ million gun owners in America will most likely have the same plan. So what long term protein source can you rely upon? Your Garden!
