Plant sources of protein (grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds) generally do not contain sufficient amounts of one or more of the essential amino acids. Thus protein synthesis can occur only to the extent that the limiting amino acids are available. These proteins are considered to have intermediate biological value or to be partially complete because, although consumed alone they do not meet the requirements for essential amino acids, they can be combined to provide amounts and proportions of essential amino acids equivalent to high biological proteins from animal sources. |
Do you see the remedy right in the quote?

It's not the difficult to eat all the sources that when combined give the body
the essential amino acids. Sure some veggers ignore making sure they get the combo right - but must probably accedently get the combo. Like a peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat.
Apperently humus is a combined complete protein (chickpeas and sesame paste) and so is rice and beans.
