Soybeans: ~37 (waow, also crazy high on iron, best macro balance of any food? 37 protein, 20 fat, 30 carbs)

soybeans are the reason I think graham hancock's hypotheses that we've inherited alien technology might have some merit

They're also one of a handful of plant-based complete protein sources. Quinoa is another one and it's also kind of alien.

Didn't humans basically invent both of these? Imo the Neolithic Revolution is really about creating new sources of food from plants that are either inedible or have nutrients that aren't bioavailable to humans.
