Proteins are made from amino acids, same as words are made from letters.
If you eat a protein source that’s short on some of those letters then you need to mix it with a source that has more of them… Otherwise you can’t create all the proteins that you need.
(It’s a bit more complicated, but that’s the bit that you need here)
You must have triggered some vegan to get a downvote. Yeah you need the 9 essential amino acids in your diet as your body can’t synthesize them. They’re called essential for a reason.
