When we shopped today I tried to figure out what I would buy
for my next meal if I had only $0.50 to spend. I jumped on a
15.5oz. (438g) can of Goya "Small Red Beans". (These are the
cheapest beans they sell at the Hannaford's Super Market in
York, Maine, where we usually shop.) The can of beans was
$0.49, so I was just under the $0.50 limit you set for me.
I chose small red beans because I like their taste, the 15.5oz
can would give me 24.5 grams of protein, about 85% of my daily
value of fiber, about 1/3 of my daily value of iron, about 14%
of my daily requirement of calcium, and a nice slug of
anti-oxidants (Small Red Beans are a very rich source and
anti-oxidants.) The whole can would give me only 315 calories.
That's more Calorie Restriction (less than 1000 calories per
day) than even this CRON practitioner wants to practice.
Furthermore, I don't think I'd hit the ON part of CRON
(Optimum Nutrition).
Of course, I could buy a #10 can of dried Small Red Beans,
soak 'em, and simmer 'em for 2.5 to 3.0 hours. But that's a
lot of trouble and a lot of propane.
But I'd have $0.03 left if I ate a can of Goya beans for every
meal. Maybe I could buy a few loose grapes in the produce
department and get a little Resveratrol. And maybe I could
collect my expelled gas and try to use it instead of propane.
Well, I think I'll just continue to be a super "luxury
hog". But I think someone impecunious should check out
Small Red Beans. I think they might give the most nutrition
bang for the buck.
