Canada is the largest exporter of pulses in the world! We're also the world's top producer of dry peas, the second largest producer of lentils, and top 10 for chickpeas.
Seems there are a surprising number of nut varieties that can be grown in zone 3. I wonder if I could talk the condo board into planting some Korean pines? Pine nuts are the most expensive item in the grocery store by weight right now.
I know walnuts are grown in BC because I used to be able to get them from the farmer's market in Calgary 16+ years ago. I don't know how widely available they are outside BC, though. Hazelnuts (filberts) will grow on the prairies in zone 3, but I haven't heard of anyone growing them commercially.

Ronnie's Jumbo peanuts and sunflower seeds are the best you'll find anywhere. They're from Manitoba.
