Foods high in peptides are mainly foods with high protein content.
Peptide is an organic compound, which is composed of amino acids by dehydration. It has a smaller molecular weight than protein and a larger molecular weight than amino acids, and peptide is a fragment of protein.
Foods with high peptide content are high protein foods, such as: egg (13.3g/100g), lean pork (20.3g/100g), soybean (35g/100g), fish (crucian carp 17.1g/100g), chicken (19.3g/100g), loach (17.9g/100g), and so on.
Protein is the material basis of life, protein is the basic component of human tissue, high protein food can provide raw materials for the renewal and repair of body tissues. Protein is very important for the growth and development of children and adolescents.
