I think lentils, chickpeas, soy and co. are the cheapest protein. In general in Italy canned tuna (granted it's solid and in olive oil) is never cheaper than 10 euro/kg, and can be as expensive as 35 euro/kg. That's more expensive than fresh chicken, pork and many cuts of beef.

In relation to these healthy, cost-effective protein sources, this legume, soy, afaict, needs fermentation before ingestion (0).
