And on closer look also (at least) fatty acids, calcium and iodine.
You're missing a bunch of micro nutrients which would cause problems over time with this. It has all the calories and protein you need though.
Add in some fat from somewhere like cooking oil, and a handful of vegetables like onions, carrots, etc. and you'd last a fairly normal human lifespan.
Vegetables often contain oil, the problem is getting omega-3's, which our bodies can't make.
In the sea, it's algae who're producing it: then krill, then squid/fish/etc eat them..
some plants make it, some don't..
olives are good, olive-oil, etc..
but anybody who's eating squash is getting omega-6's or 9's, even though it seems non-intuitive.
Any particular type of beans? Red? Black? Lentils?
Does the type of rice matter?
I’m intrigued by this possibility.
Afaik pretty much any kind of cereal with any kind of legume provide the essential amino acids needed by the body. Both of them have protein, but not the full set of amino acids that the body requires in a certain proportion.
Idk about vitamins, though.
Yes; make sure it's whole grain. White rice is essentially junk food, with most of its fiber, vitamins & minerals stripped in the de-hulling process.
I have a sack of white rice to eat through... I don't really know what to do with it all. My partner got it from work. Would rather basmati rice really.
You might mix it with non-junk food rice. Shortgrain-brown might have a similar-enough cooking time that they can be mixed together. I'm hazy on that, as I stopped eating rice years ago, replacing it with steel-cut oats.
Or, who knows... maybe you could donate the sack to a food bank?
Cool - thank you! That makes sense. I know there are so many types of rice, so I’ll do some research too.
