400g of cooked lentils is $4 at the IGA near my dad. That’s 2 RDI servings.
I can get a 400g tin for about 80c in the city where I live, but I can also get 250g of dried lentils for $2-3, which will easily give me 1kg of cooked lentils.
The tuna is only a 110g can for $1.50, one RDI serving.
Both the tinned tuna and tinned lentils contain a lot of water weight, which is why I’m focused on “per serving”, where the tuna is cheaper.
I’m not arguing that protein per gram per cent, the dry lentils are always cheaper, but they litteraly don’t sell dried lentils at the shop near my dad.
Huh?

Your prices are whack. You have the cheapest tuna in the world, yet the most expensive beans in the world.
