Crossposting here because an off-grider is relying on milk and potatoes for nutrition completeness. I suppose getting nutritional completeness with as few ingredients as possible is generally interesting to off-grid living.

The thing they don’t mention when they say that a combination of food items are “nutritionally complete”, is what quantities they need to be consumed in. Some micronutrients are technically in a lot of foods, but you’d have to eat the equivalent of 15,000 calories a day to get what you need. There’s definitely a lot of people around the globe who get by on rice and beans for 90% of their diet, but they do have to eat other stuff. Lots of nutrient deficiencies also take a while to start to have an effect, and the effects might not be obvious. I know what pellagra, scurvy, and rickets do, but I have no clue what a selenium deficiency would do
