what is the cheapest veg on the planet?

Answer 1

any that you grow yourself i suppose

Answer 2

As others have said, the cheapest - and definately the most nutritional vegetables are those you grow yourself. You don't need a big garden - I have grown spinach in an old porcelain sink outside!! You can plant runner beans - they grow vertically, so you don't need a big ground area, and you will get tons of beans.

I once had to live on just five english pounds a week, and I ate very well on that money by just going to the market and buying up lots of root vegetables and living off stews. Add a few lentils and you have a really healthy meal that is also good for your figure.

Answer 3

Good question. Various wild foods don't cost either money or labour, so they're free. Like wild mushrooms, water cress, acorns, chestnuts, herbs, seaweed. In tropical countries, sugar cane grows by the roadside. All you need is a knife to cut the outside off, then you chew and suck it like candy. Bananas, coconuts, avocados and citrus fruits grow wild in some poor countries. Here in NZ, yams, potatoes, blackberries and apple trees grow wild. Some of the vegetables growing in my garden like self-seeding leeks, self-seeding potatoes, miners' lettuce, asparagus, rhubarb and chives never need any attention. The only work that ever went into them was years ago, when I planted them.

Answer 4

Natural vegetables that you get direct from the garden and are known to be very nutritious with vitamins without artificial additions. They are generally not planted but naturally grow.

Answer 6

Depends what country you're in but yes, anything that you grow yourself or you can harvest from the wild is a good answer.

Answer 7

The stuff you dig up from your own garden, providing you exclude the cost of owning the garden in the first place

Answer 8

I would imagine that rice would be it - not a "vegetable" per se, but certainly it feeds more people than just about anything else on earth.

Answer 9

Nettles

Answer 10

the ones you get free, sea cabbage mushrooms and other fungi, blackberries and all sorts of natures harvest

Answer 11

nettles is a good answer.
Pumkin and marrow are easy to plant from a seed (from another pumpkin etc) and therefore cheap too, they dont need much care either, thus saving time, and time is money, thus adding to cheapness.
