    Beans shouldn’t be much more pricey, give you less worry about arsenic and contain a fair amount more protein than rice.
    If affordable, I’d pick beans over rice any day.
    Big bags of dried beans it is!

      Also, for variety, there are a lot of kind of beans, plus there’s chickpeas and lentils which can be made in the same way.

      For even more variety, one can eat beans with rice 😁

        Agreed! Pulses in general allow for a healthy and affordable diet.
        I’m not a proponent of rice mainly for the way it gets produced (lots of water needed and methane emitted in the process) and the fact it’s a hyperaccumulator of arsenic. About all these things I don’t need to worry when picking pulses.
        But each to their own and some variety rarely is a bad idea.
