The legumes are pretty much bs though (except peanuts) as those are dry weight, cooked weight drops Pinto beans to 9 grams of protein. Protein density drops because bean weight increases through absorption.

What's wrong with reducing density through absorption (of water)?

Nothing at all. But it reduces protein density, so makes 25 grams of protein per 100 grams weight meaningless. No one is eating uncooked, dried pinto beans.

This is not a problem with the nutrition of foods, it is the metric that is poorly designed. One more argument against the chart
