            Yes, that’s what it is, which is a useless metric.

            Cooked Pinto beans are 9 grams of protein per 100 grams.

              I wouldn’t say so, since it’s a comparison of price vs protein. You don’t tend to buy wet beans (unless they’re canned), so it’s a reasonable graph considering.

            Yeah, it’s dry weight. I just checked the labels on my beans at home. They all approximately 7g protein per 35g beans (i.e. 20g protein per 100g beans).

      Most likely dried legumes vs uncooked meat that is full of water.
