All grains are already in #10 professionally hermetically sealed cans (can’t grow grains here). Menus for a month of diversified professionally hermetically sealed canned foods were figured and that month repeated 12 times, and stored.
None of that is fresh food.
The container garden is the source of fresh food or home canned food. The closer the fresh food is to furnishing what the body needs in a day, the better off the body will be.

Which is exactly why I started off by saying that what is the best to grow is an individual decision. If I understood you correctly, you have enough wheat and other stuff to last a year.
What if you need more than a year? Texas is the 3rd largest wheat producing state in the nation-You can grow wheat during the winter season, when other stuff isn’t growing-if you need to. If you think you might need to, then you could be learning today.
It would be a good use for that patch of ground you have where the garden used to be. You could plant a small amount just for learning purposes if you want to. Alternatively, you could grow rice in gallon jugs, in the houses even.
The main point was that the protein in Beans which you are growing, is not a complete protein, and your body needs a complete protein. I thought I was answering your question as to what else was needed.
I grow wheat to learn, and to use for compost, and to get closer to self sufficiency.
It is also a hedge against inflation, should there be a repeat of the Nixon/Carter years, I won’t need to buy stuff, because I will be able to grow it all.
I gave you a list of about 25 foods, which when taken together provide a complete diet from a self teaching mini-series “Learning To Grow All Your Own Food”.
I hope you found something useful in the list.
