not so healthy especially if you are ageing
Not True at all since oats are less calorie-laden than your rice and many other starchy foods. undecided

Nice one
adecz:





Is there anything that hasn't
gone up?


Since Buhari and his APC came to
power, most foodstuff, especially
any foodstuff produced in Nigeria have gone up in price from a 500 to 1000%❗️❗️

In fact, the lower percentage increase
has more to do with imported foodstuff,
therefore wheat based products have
gone up about 500%, while local rice,
palm oil, beans, gari etc went up by up
to 1000%, thank to Emefiele's 419 policies & Buharinomics.

Bambara nuts can be found in major grain markets across the country.

Then the major problem you might face is grinding it. Not many people knows how to properly grind and seive it.

I just knew it. Once demand skyrockets, greedy middlemen kick in and start to hoard and increase prices of items. Very predictable.
it has always been expensive check the price history internationally and ask from locals around.

Indeed... My further research since first knowing more about the fonio grain (aka acha) last week affirms what you've posted here.

It's the fastest growing grain in the world from my investigations (with a 60-day cycle), hence it should be cheaper. But then again, many variables exist that can lead to the overall costing of agrocommodities depending on location and seasonality.

Thanks for the insightful input.

That's a huge average tonnage difference per hectare! These are key stats for sustainable projections and development.

To boost food security worldwide, more research works are needed though agro research institutions to genetically boost the per hectare tonnages of critical food crops.

The South Africans have been able to get higher yields per hectare from some of the same types of crops grown in Nigeria.

I was shocked too, but the woman said casually that "only beans bugs" when I told her that I've never experienced that before. Though she offered to give me another one, I decided to pass on it because if they sift it, I won't see the bugs but the eggs will still be in it.

It must have been from the processing.
Most likely processed by folks who are eager to make quick gains. No care for quality.
Re: Cheapest Substitute For Rice by ycat: 8:55am On Dec 07, 2023
I think it took long during shipping or they forgot it in the warehouse somewhere.
