Weird to compare a grain against a processed food.

Edit: it's the ambiguity between staple crop and staple food, not that I don't understand you put them in your mouth. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staple_food sticks with cereal grains rather than particular foods, but does have an image of couscous somewhere in there even though it's not one of the staples.

I always thought couscous was it's own grain and was confused by your statement so I had to look it up.

TIL couscous is made from wheat flout, semolina specifically, and is technically a pasta.

That said, the title of the map does say it's comparing staple foods, not grains. Makes perfect sense to do IMO.
