Common Whole-food Staples

A food staple is a food that is eaten routinely and is considered the 'staple' of a meal, because it consists of the biggest amount of calories and volume found in the meal.

This section will talk about all the common vegan food staples, how healthy they are and how available they are (price/easiness of access to them). All of these staples can be used as the main caloric source of vegan recipes--as their plain taste combined with their cheap prices and the large array of nutrients they have makes them a good choice for the main source of calories in a diet.
