No, they do not. Vegetables have all the protein you need. There are many vegetable protein superstars. All seeds contain plenty of protein to nurture a growing plant. Seeds include not only sesame, pumpkin, and sunflower seeds, but also legumes (beans, peas, lentils and peanuts), tree nuts, and grains (particularly amaranth and quinoa). Dark leafy greens have protein. In fact, all plants contain at least some protein. One great benefit of vegetable proteins over meat is that vegetables come with lots of fiber, whereas animal products contain no fiber. So instead of questioning where vegans get their protein, question where people who eat the standard American diet get their fiber.
