You added the following to the Durum page:

"The protein in wheat can be as high as 18% but is not a complete protein. When eaten with beans (legumes, pulse), which is also an incomplete protein, the result of the combination is a high quality protein with all the amino acids required for human nutrition."

A 1988 American Dietetics Position Paper contradicts the necessity of 'protein combining' in the same meal for a healthy diet as incorrect. I've removed mention of it from the durum article.

Please read:

"Intakes of different types of protein that complement one another should be eaten over the course of the day. However, since endogenous sources of amino acids are also available, it is not necessary that complementation of amino acid profiles be precise and at exactly the same meal, as the recently popular 'combined protein theory' suggested."
