A staple diet refers to the basic and commonly consumed foods that make up the majority of a person's diet, providing a significant portion of their nutritional needs. Staples vary by region and culture but typically include foods that are readily available, affordable, and provide essential nutrients. Examples include rice, wheat, corn, potatoes, and beans. These foods often serve as the foundation for meals and are supplemented with other items like vegetables, fruits, meat, and dairy to create a balanced diet.
