Ocra?

Peas?

Peas?

I'll accept peas as the correct answer, though what I was looking for was LENTILS specifically. To be honest, I think a lot of Canadians call them peas, anyway, at least when they end up as split pea soup.

The trend in growing lentils is a recent one and I believe it IS being used in rotation with canola and grains (so oilseed-cereal-pulse-cereal)

As legumes, lentils and peas fix nitrogen back in the soil so decrease use on fertilizer.

They also have a short growing season so they can be easily grown in more northern zones.

My son doesn't like sandwiches insists on hot lunch in a thermos for school. Rice and daal (lentil curry) is a regular.

Ooh, TIL what exactly a lentil is. I knew the English word and I knew the food, but I had not made the connection.

Let's go for a hard one (I think):

Sense of comedy?

 

[Gelion]

Global poverty?

 

[Kyriakos]

Russia has less poverty than Greece/Australia?

Hm, if, on the other hand, pale color means worse, it could be about homelessness (but I doubt it).
Isn't everyone a nomad in south Sahara?

Sense of comedy?

No (how would you even measure that?)

Global poverty?

No.

Russia has less poverty than Greece/Australia?

Hm, if, on the other hand, pale color means worse, it could be about homelessness (but I doubt it).
Isn't everyone a nomad in south Sahara?

No, it is not homelessness.

 

[amadeus]

No (how would you even measure that?)

Color in every country except for Germany.

 

[Gelion]

Russia has less poverty than Greece/Australia?

I was hoping it would lead to more clues

It was actually my first guess...

^Maybe it is some kind of meat consumption?

 

[Samson]

With Morocco the lightest colour and Mauritania the darkest, it cannot really be a usual metric of affluence like meat consumption.

 

[Kyriakos]

Τhe lack of stats for worst Korea is what I find bizarre.

Yes, this is not about consumption.

Τhe lack of stats for worst Korea is what I find bizarre.

The data had only an entity called "Korea", I was not sure what to make of that, so I decided not to fix it.

Deaths (diseases) from insects?

Deaths (diseases) from insects?

The killer insects of Mauretania?

No, not that.

 

[Birdjaguar]

If darker is more, then Africa has/is the worst or has the most.

 

[uppi]

Darker is indeed more and worse.

 

[Samson]

Death rate by wild animals?

 

[red_elk]

Related to criminality? (homicide rate?)
Mortality from specific cause?
