Lentils

Lentils have 4 times as much protein/calorie as wheat (2x as much as other legumes), fixates nitrogen for other future crops, and can go straight from picking in hardened form to long term storage (seeds active for 5 years, food storage for 10 years without special packing). A lot more efficient (and better tasting) than chicken. They require less cook time than other legumes. Avoid planting with onions or garlic. Rotate crop annually to avoid pests.

Lentils are certainly yummy, especially in soups, but ever try to bake bread from it? Personally I like a diversity of crops, including grains and legumes. We planted peas and four kinds of beans this year one of which is soy, a legume with a lot of uses, if perhaps not quite as nutritious as lentils. Mjn 03:49, 5 August 2011 (CEST)

when i was at wall mart i did a little price check on protien/dollar. lentils definitely win. im going to make a spreadsheet for other nutritional per dollar stuff. --Dorkmo 19:36, 5 August 2011 (CEST)
