I recently discovered Quinoa, which is quite delicious and very nutritious (it has a balanced set of essential amino acids). It's also pretty cheap. I'm not sure how hardy the plant is though. Googling shows that it's on the short list of foods often mentioned as being able to play a significant role in world hunger.
- wlievens 16y agoI like that stuff too. It's (in terms of taste and function) somewhere between pasta and rice, so that means a lot of dishes work great with it.
- jamesbkel 16y agoAlso a big fan of Quinoa, however it appears there are some hurdles to cross before it's widely available and remains "cheap" http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/20/world/americas/20bolivia.html http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/20/world/americas/20bolivia.h... [update] Probably one of the easiest and most nutritious meals I know is some quinoa, chopped veggies and sriracha. Hell, quinoa and sriracha isn't bad in a pinch.
- switch007 16y agoIt's great for breakfast too - treat it a bit like porridge. Cook it on the stove with some milk, almonds, sugar, raisins, muesli etc.
- RyanMcGreal 16y agoI just had cold quinoa and vegetable salad for breakfast. :)
- chapel 16y agoI discovered it as well, loved the idea of having something so balanced, unfortunately I can't eat it. After trying it, I had a severe allergic reaction, ending in the hospital the first time, and the second riding the pain out for three hours. An odd food to be allergic too, but too bad.
