What are the plants with the highest caloric efficiency?I define "caloric efficiency" as: (c*n)/(s*t), where:"c" is the average amount of calories 1 single edible part (ex.: a fruit, a leaf, a tuber...) can provide"n" is the average number of edible parts normally present on 1 single fully grown specimen (ex.: the number of apples on an apple tree; the number of leafs on a lettuce head, etc....)"s" is the minimum space required for 1 single specimen to grow fully"t" is the average time required for an edible part to fully regrow after being harvested
>>16507559“edible part” is ill-defined. Better do mass.
>>16507559So you really like peas?
must be potatoes
>>16507559~1/3lbs of pine needles apparently has enough calories to be equivalent to a diet of 2k calories every day for a year, That's wild.
>>16507559wheat, rice and potatoeseggs and milk are superfoods btw so make sure to eat them regularly anons
>>16507951what about acorns?
>>16507662sweet potatoes, actuallyyou can eat the whole plant if you really wanted and have the highest nutrient production per acreregular potato stalks and leaves are poisonous>>16507947calorimetric calories =/= nutritional caloriesthere's a lot of resins and terpenes that have a lot of energy, your body cannot "burn" them
>>16507559C4 ricecoming to your neighborhood in 1/3 years
>>16507947>cal>kcalR.I.P. bozo
>>16508039>calorimetric calories =/= nutritional caloriesalright, give me the "gotcha", because I must be missing somethinghttps://pubs.cif-ifc.org/doi/pdf/10.5558/tfc44028-4
>>16508100ask /fit/ about this and get laughed out of the room, son
>>16508225I'm literally giving you a free shot to BTFO me.I just think calories are meme science in the nutritional world.
>>16507559another delusional thread where retards believe plants are in any way nutritionally comparable to animal foods
>>16508100Calorimeter is just a measuring device, you may as well say that since you can measure both bread and rocks with a scale they are both edible. You can chuck oil or gas into it or wood into it and it will produce a result because that's what it's built to do, but you will still die if your diet consists of 2500 calories of oil or gas or wood a day.4.9 kcal per gram is just about what you would expect, plants in general and wood in specific is mostly made out of water and sugar, sugar is 4 kcal per gram. A pine needles have low moisture content (and the study measured them dried out pretty sure) and high amount of oils which pushes them bit above sugar since oils are about 9 kcal per gram. That doesn't mean you can eat them. You start eating pine needles and you start shitting pine needles.
>>16507951>wheat, riceThen why does almost nobody try to grow them indoors?
>>16507589Are peas the answer to OP's question?
>>16510586Peas are a very good option as the whole plant is edible and will even regrow itself.It's also what he showed in the pic.
>>16509063Some things are more viable indoors because of the inherent value at harvest time. Of course you can grow anything you want indoors, but it's much nicer to get produce aisle food than the stuff that gets processed and put into the dry goods aisle.
>>16507559>I define "caloric efficiency" as: (c*n)/(s*t)Is there any official statistic like this? If yes how is it called?
>>16507559Maybe black beans? Definitely some sort of seed. Black beans can be grown indoors, mature very quickly and don't get that large.
