  Lentils pack a huge nutritional bang for the buck and are very easy to cook. One of my favorite one pot meals is to toss some lentils and brown rice in a pot and simmer for 40 minutes. Just add your own choice of seasonings and some leafy greens on the side and a handful of nuts and you have a very cheap and healthy meal.

    If you're in the US and the rice is from a former cotton state (not California), you could be getting a high dose of arsenic by using brown rice as a staple. A sane government would set limits on arsenic at least on par with China's, but that would be costly to American agriculture, and it's easy to ignore chronic arsenic poisoning because it causes cancer or heart disease, not an identifiable syndrome that would generate bad publicity for politicians. My favorite alternatives are millet (cheap, has flavor if you toast it) and quinoa (price on par with rice if you can find it not packaged for yuppies).

      Maybe it's because I'm Slavic, but buckwheat is where it's at. Cheap, packed with protein, has a pleasant nutty flavour.

      Yeah that’s a valid concern. I’m in Asia and usually stick to organic Thai riceberry which also has a high antioxidant content.
