This "15 crops" trope is widespread, but it's really hard to find a list of what those exactly are. The Wikipedia article mentions 15 but only lists the top 10.

This "15 crops" trope is widespread, but it's really hard to find a list of what those exactly are. The Wikipedia article mentions 15 but only lists the top 10. Everyone else probably just copied the "fact" from Wikipedia, like a 4th grade research paper, no sources listed anywhere.
