Is there a food that is cheap, delicious and healthy at the same time? - Lemmy.world
I have a theory that there is a impossible trinity (like in economics
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impossible_trinity]), where a food cannot be
delicious, cheap and healthy at the same time. At maximum 2 of the 3 can be
achieved. Is there any food that breaks this theory?

You can add chickpeas to the list.
I'm a big fan of these cooked in an air fryer. Usually a bit cheaper than black beans as well in my area, although I prefer the latter on balance.
just make sure you keep the smoke extractor on for an extra 15-20 min after turning off the air fryer to get all the carcinogenic particles out of your kitchen.
What causes the carcinogenic particles?
There was a paper somewhere that shows the high temperature cooking method would result in release of acrylamide? I don't remember the exact chemical it talked about but the gist is that the person eating the air-fried food aren't as susceptible to the carcinogens than the person cooking the food because the particles got pushed out the fryer very rapidly.
