Beans is one of my favourite. I can eat it morning, afternoon and night but the price is gone up as well.

no wonder they call you atomic bomb whenever you mess

Rexymania:
It gets spoilts easily

Saw this online...

Raw sweet potatoes should not be refrigerated. Store in a cool, dry, dark place, unwrapped, for up to two months or at room temperature for up to a week. Cooked sweet potatoes can be stored in the refrigerator, frozen, dried or canned.

the reality is hitting hard.

If sweet potatoes is cheaper and would ''hold body,'' then one should start looking into it

Please stick with your rice, don't come and increase the price of our sweet potatoes for us.

But truthfully tho, most peeps don't know that sweet potatoes are richer nutritionally than rice.

Pasta is the best alternative and relatively cheaper now compared to rice

The one wey we dey buy normally, no dey tay done. (Big white or big brown)
Also, if you have an electric jug, you can quickly boil some water to cook the beans with, to save you time and gas.

Electric jug needs power to work which is a problem in most parts of Nigeria.

I would advice anybody who have the opportunity to japa to do that without hesitation..... Nigeria is doomed.

The truth is that there no alternative. Except you want to be eating sweet potatoes

I hate that bastard, Irish potatoes would've been better but going to Pankshin every weekend is not feasible.

Na to reason tuwo masara

The forever trusty garri, it doesn't fail

I don fry half...
Tomorrow I go fry the remaining half ..
Make I dey manage abeg...��
Things too cost ��‍♀️

Oh God, I weep and weep again.

This is what we going through, damn!

Holluwhakemmy:
Gari

Are you going to be eating only Garri or what?

Go and farm. Your president said so.

lovediehatelive:
isn't it expensive like spaghetti

Don't mind that idiot.. macaroni is even more expensive than rice

shantti:


The problem is that it doesn't last. It spoils quickly

Exactly. Beans is my favourite food. Beside bloating, it will also discomfort your tommy if you eat it too often.

Couscous

mariahAngel:


To avoid that, parboil for some minutes before cooking.

No matter how I parboil it, it still goes hard on me - though it kinda better than not doing it at all.

Rice has no substitute, you can only substitute yam with sweet potatoes not rice.

That's Irish potatoes

na to enter foodstuff business.. then you chop inside and sell gan

Reference:


Unfortunately for Nigeria we do not have a wide variety of staples. Rice is not a staple or indigenous to Nigeria so we toil to produce any reasonable quantities.

I guess cassava derivatives is what has economic benefits. It is our bottom line as far as good security is concerned.

Garri, Cassava flour, fufu/akpu...

even the sweet potatoes gan self nko?
How did we end up like this in Nigeria Lord?

shantti:


Gas go dey finish quick nah.

Kai! See Nigeria,people now ask for the cheapest food they can buy ogao!
It will never be well with buhari,his generation and every idiot in this government.
The funny part is that most of you suffering that can't buy food are still campaigning for APC..suffer nor dey tire you?

Hi, with the growing price of rice, things don't seem to be cheap and eating rice would take much from one's earnings.

The unfortunate flood stories on frontpage and also increase in price of rice is worrisome, but man must survive.

I remember the time I used to buy spaghetti and hardly use rice. But one thing led to the other and the price of spaghetti increased and I was forced to look for alternative, and had to resort to rice because it was cheaper then.

Now same rice is increasing in price, what food would you suggest should be used to replace rice based on cost.

Sweet potatoes. It is very cheap when in season.

Hmmm, and people still want to vote apc 2023.

They are all carbohydrates. That is rice oo, yam ooo, sweet potatoes ooo

mariahAngel:
If I suggest beans now, some might say your own is too much. Every time, beans. but yeah. Beans.

You are advicing people to leave, have you taken your own advice?!

In this Nigeria, power is better nowadays. Though, using electricity to heat anything is more expensive than using gas

Where is that food that comes close to beans?
None!

My dear,
The only alternative is fasting of prophet David. One day in, one day out.

Soak it in water for 30 minutes before cooking.

Every food is unique in it's own way.

Rice has no replacement..Except you don't like rice..Moreover no cheap food again, if you can afford 3square meals atleast, you are doing well.

You can buy in smaller pack..The madness of high increment in price will phase out as we enter dry season gradually...

Nigerians are doing themselves.
