Pallars are rich in fiber, folates, potassium and iron (of worse absorption than that coming from foods of animal origin), although their main component is carbohydrates. They also provide a significant amount of vegetable protein, of poorer quality (because they are deficient in an essential amino acid, methionine) than that of animal origin. However, pallares combined in the same dish with cereals such as rice, give rise to a protein as complete as that of any food of animal origin.
