Soy Beans, 
soy beans are harvested when mature and unlike other beans soy beans offer a complete protein. Soy beans ideally need to be cooked in a pressure cooker and can take about 45 minutes, but once prepared they can be added to virtually anything.  

​Check out Best Soy Bean Recipes
Edameme are whole green soy beans, harvested young while the beans are still soft. Which makes for easy additions to any meal without cooking. 
Find out how to add edamame to your meal with over 50 trusted recipes. 



Quorn 
Im going to skip Quorn.  Upon initial searching it seems it is a fungus based vegetarian meat alternative from the UK that is made into products only available outside of Canada. Many mixed reviews on this product. 

Rice and Beans
Rice and beans are a combination of widely available staple foods that are on many household tables around the world.  Combining the grain and the legume provides several important nutrients along with creating a complete protein. 
Check out this article by Livestrong.com outlining the benefits of Rice and Beans. 


Ezekiel Bread
This Bread is a Sprouted bread. Sprouted Bread is a type of bread made from whole grains that have been allowed to sprout/germinate and then milled into flour.  Because of the sprouting process this bread is much higher in nutritional content then whole wheat bread. 
Here is more info in Why Ezekiel Bread Is The Healthiest Bread You Can Eat.
