Corn, wheat and potatoes are god tier.

South America seems to be winning this game.

I'd put wheat higher & sweet potatoes lower, based purely on versatility, but that's pretty on the money.

South America's got it made in the shade with their potatoes. They don't just have white russets and orange yams, they got dozens of varieties of each type of tuber.

Wheat and rye are pretty kickass for bread too

Bananas. Highest yield per acre, you don't even have to farm them really, can be eaten raw, and delicious.

If we're going with *starch* starch, though, I'm going to have to go with wheat. Wheat makes my life good.
