This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEA curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in Gardening.

Even if one isn’t vegetarian/vegan, being able to obtain protein at home is a valuable skill. There are a number of helpful plants that provide a solid source of protein at home. Some, such as lentils, have the benefit of staying relatively small when fully grown, allowing for them to be kept despite limited space.

To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
Do not use plastic, cement, porous terracotta, or styrofoam pots.
It may not be part of the potted polyculture BB requirement.
Plant it using any method that is organic or better.
Start from seed.
Display that the plant is growing.





To document and become certified for this BB provide photos or video (less than 2 minutes) showing the following:
- Explain the vegetable protein chosen and methods used.
- Show image of planting it
- Show image of the plant in three stages of growth (sprouting, full plant, and fruiting)
