Canada. Lentils, potatoes , rice.
Lentils and potatoes for sure, but we don't really grow rice in Canada. There are some examples, but we get our rice from the US, Thailand, and India, as well as many other countries. I eat rice very regularly and I have no doubt I've never eaten rice grown on Canadian soil.
No but the question was staples that remain cheap. We buy a lot of Rice from India, even as prices may rise it is still cheap. A 10 or 20 lb bag of rice lasts a long time for meals.
Oops, I didn't see that part of the question, my bad! I sure hope rice stays affordable, that and tofu represent like half my diet :P
Mine too. Rice, beans, tofu, lentils, potatoes...and mixed veggies. Luckily we have a local grocery chain that is not Superstore and their prices on staple goods and veggies are like half the amount of Superstore
