Ranked by protein per serving

Highest-protein vegetables per serving

The vegetables with the most protein in one serving, ranked from most to least. Servings are each food's own USDA portion and are printed on every row.

105 of the 796 foods in the ProteinTally database are vegetables.

Basis: protein in one serving of each food, in the portion its USDA record is quoted in. Those portions are not a common unit - a cup of dry milk powder is not the same amount of food as a chicken breast - so every row prints its serving and its weight, and the per-100 g list compares the same foods on equal weight. Compare these foods per 100 g.
