[…] Good eats: Everywhere you go, food prices are on the rise. Soon, Cheerios will be as expensive as caviar, and caviar will still taste terrible with milk and sliced bananas in the morning. Not to worry, Ecosalon has compiled a list of healthy foods that cost under a dollar and still manage to taste good. Some of the usual suspects (yogurt, sweet potatoes) make the list, along with a few you might not have thought of, plus recipes at bit.ly/fOQ4Bg. […]

10 minutes of boiling beans eliminates any dangerous toxins. And there are plenty of dishes you can make without having to soak the beans overnight. The only way they would be toxic is if they were so undercooked that you couldn’t/wouldn’t want to eat them anyway. Stop with the scare stories.

You wouldn’t touch oats? Really?

[…] Isn’t it sad that healthy eating, in our country, usually equates to “expensive?” It’s no wonder so many have trouble with weight and health. One of my favorite sites is: ecosalon.com. They recently did some research and they say if you have “a dollar,” you can get at least one serving (and often several) of the following foods. Note, some of the food they included I didn’t add. I’ve only added the food that I use and know for a fact is inexpensive and healthy. To see the entire article you can visit them at ecosalon.com. […]

I love your articles and this one is a great one! Re previous comment on eggs. I buy mine from a local hobby farm and it costs me $2.50 CA not US even – they are varying sizes but mostly are large. They are also different colours which is very cool. I suggest folks try to find someone local or someone that brings in local eggs etc from outside the cities. You would be supporting them and doing yourself a favour.

I’ve not had the same issues with dried beans that the commenter had. I use them mostly in soups and just rinse them very well and add – a couple hours and voila – they are soft and so delicious. Even if I had to soak them overnight for a salad I find it nothing to do since I’m asleep 🙂

Thanks again for all the great tips & ideas.

A few words about eggs and beans. Free range eggs are expensive. We have them here sold for 3.50 to 3.99 pounds! Salmon is cheaper. Yes, there are eggs which cost almost nothing, but have you seen the hens they are coming from? I did. I will not touch an egg from any of them.

As for dry beans, yes they are cheaper, but you have to soak them overnight and then boil them for hours to make them edible. Most beans (and grains and potatoes actually ) are toxic and if not cooked properly will give you a major stomach upset or even food poisoning.

Personally, I wouldn’t touch any dairy products and oats (for above resons) as well, but I guess they are healthy in a way. Depends on your lifestyle and diet really.

Those are good suggestions. Apples, bananas and eggs are all great.

I’ll stick to regular potatoes over sweet potatoes though!
