GARDENING IS A GOOD SKILL TO HAVE
Given the huge amount of Roundup residue in our food supply, E-coli outbreaks, etc. we decided to transition to growing our own food as much as possible.
This give a double benefit of being able to grow our own food if SHTF, and takes care of our kitchen waste with composting.
Below is a list of easy-to-grow vegetable and fruit varieties that will also provide a balanced amount of nutrition:
Allium varieties – A good source of dietary fiber, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, folate and potassium
Berries – High in antioxidants, vitamin C
Beans – Beans are very high in fiber, calcium, Vitamins A, C, and K
Broccoli – Broccoli is a good source of protein, Vitamins A and K, and carbohydrates
Carrots – This root crop is a good source of carbohydrates, vitamin A, vitamin C
Grains – Grains are a good source of carbohydrates, are high in dietary fiber and manganese
Peppers – High in vitamin A and C
Potatoes – Potatoes are high in fiber, Vitamin B6, Potassium and Vitamin C and a good source of carbohydrates
Spinach – Many call this a superfood based upon its large array of vitamins such as Vitamin A, C, iron, thiamine, thiamine, and folic acid.Potassium
Tomatoes – Tomatoes are a good source of Vitamin A, C, K, E, Potassium, thiamine, and Niacin
Don’t forget, that dandelions are edible - food can be disguised and less obvious by using plants such as this.
I enjoyed your nutritional synopsis of vegertables and garden plants
and found your hotlink to ' Nigella Sativa (black cumin, Roman coriander, etc.)' quite interesting and medically informative.
Many people think that because they have seed for garden vegetables, that they are protected from famine... not true !
However, most don't realize that the seed that they have saved from 'store bought' vegetables is hybridized seed and won't be true when replanted.
Heirloom seeds on the other hand are tried, true, and have a history of sustainability, having been handed down for many generations.
That is why long-term seed canned storage has heirloom seeds, only; they have adapted to many plant diseases, blight, drought, and drowning.
That is why you should include heirloom seeds in your prepper storage plans.
