I have replaced rice with egbo/ corn meal since and my children are really enjoying it

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.

Potatoes are perishable fruit. An attempt to keep it for long will amount to wastage.

You better no mind the guy. Crown is G.penny spag closest rival now, but still, it's quality cannot compared at all. Talk about swelling, go for tiny G.penny and be amazed. If you try Crown tiny, you go blame yourself cheesy Although Gpenny sticks more than Crown sha

Garri, Cassava flour, fufu/akpu...

That is what is called a staple. Climate, terrain, know how, etc, naturally favourable in the widest possible regions across the country making it's production universal and it's cost controllable.

Almost every other crop is either not indegenous or heavily localised restricting the volumes that can be produced.

Unfortunately for Nigeria our two best beloved food crops rice and wheat are just not tennable when the chips are down and global food shocks are at work.

The problem with beans is that the places where it can be produced in commercial quantities is highly restricted making it expensive to produce.

How can u prevent it from spoiling quickly
Dig a hole under any tree DAT has shade, den spray ashes inside d hole before piling d potatoes into d hole nd use plank or stick to cover d hole before putting d soil u dig ontop d plank or stick. Dis method is use wen u can't finish d potatoes in 2 or 3 months tym. Each tym u bring d potato out is as fresh as ever with stems growing on it.
