Not that’s less expensive. You need to remember that dried foods are 6 times more concentrated than wet ones. Together the full list replaces most of a meal each day. Including eggs and salmon, more than a meal a day. Likewise for the question I sometimes get about calories. They’re actually super low calorie foods for what you get, just physically dense. If almonds are unusually expensive in your area then iirc 3/8 cup sunflower seeds should be close enough to replace 1/4 cup almonds (for a total of 5/8 cup sunflower seeds). But where I am sunflower seeds aren't much cheaper.
As for the link, one user is taking a full tbsp. Label also says it’s pure rice bran. So I think it's probably right even though the description is weird. If not then maybe it's a portion of rice bran. Rice bran is a coarse powder similar to other bran, and likewise goes well in home made muffins, smoothies and on fruit.
