I have a theory that there is a impossible trinity (like in economics), 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?

Edit: I was thinking more about dishes (or something you put in your mouth) than the raw substances

Some popular suggestions include

  • fruits (in season)
  • lentils

You can add chickpeas to the list.

Roasted chickpeas are amazing.

[-] pejosnic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I know right? I use canned chickpeas and an air fryer. I sprinkle a bit of salt, pepper and paprika on them, sometimes a little bit of olive oil. Now that's a good healthy snack!

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?

[-] yippeekyay@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] SoLongSealion@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

But you said that the air fryer causes the carcinogenic particles.

hummus is crazy easy if you have a pressure cooker (I prefer my stovetop model)

[-] pejosnic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I should start making hummus again. I love the stuff, but I got bored after eating so much a few month ago.
