This is an informative chart on the protein content in veggies. I was surprised to see that so many vegetables have protein. These amounts are for 1 cup of vegetables.
They are not the complete protein, and the digestibility and bioavailability are not ideal, so, you won't be able to absorb all the protein they provide.
It's interesting that lower carb vegetables are often the highest-protein vegetables. An important point though, vegetables do not provide the complete protein, so it's important to add meat, fish, eggs, tofu, and similar foods.

They have proteins but I do not think they are complete proteins-lacking total proteins as in meats

Great to see! I tried Aldi's veggie burgers with Kale. Really tastey!
Wonderful to know! I am trying to find more protein with vegetables!
It's good to know about the protein in green peas. I quite like them in soup, and as a side dish.
Wow! That's encouraging to me, Christine as we eat lots of brussel sprouts, and just had some peas last night.
Blessings!
Well, I did not know!
I like all of those vegetables.
