Description

Turn over a new leaf with these nutritional powerhouses for your kitchen gardenOur industrialized food system is failing us, and as individuals we must take more responsibility for our own health and food security. Leaf crops produce more nutrients per square foot of growing space and per day of growing season than any other crops and are especially high in vitamins and minerals commonly lacking in the North American diet. As hardy as they are versatile, these beautiful leafy vegetables range from the familiar to the exotic. Some part of this largely untapped food resource can thrive in almost any situation.Eat Your Greens provides complete instructions for incorporating these nutritional powerhouses into any kitchen garden. This innovative guide:Shows how familiar garden plants such as sweet potato, okra, beans, peas, and pumpkin can be grown to provide both nourishing leaves and other calorie- and protein-rich foods Introduces a variety of non-traditional, readily adaptable alternatives such as chaya, moringa, toon, and wolfberry Explains how to improve your soil while getting plenty of vegetables by growing edible cover cropsBeginning with a comprehensive overview of modern commercial agriculture and rounded out by a selection of advanced techniques to maximize, preserve, and prepare your harvest, Eat Your Greens is an invaluable addition to the library of any gardening enthusiast.David Kennedy is the founder and director of Leaf for Life, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the elimination of global malnutrition through the optimum use of leaf crops, and is the author of 21st Century Greens and the Leaf for Life Handbook.

After purchasing this book, it sat forgotten on my nightstand for nearly a year as I read several other items on my list. Every time I picked it up, I thought, "not now, I already know about eating and growing my greens." As a nutritionist and permaculturist, I'm already eating a wide array of leaves from my edible landscape and didn't realize how much this book would add to my repertoire. David Kennedy's book is not about kale, broccoli, chard, spinach, lettuce, and the other greens you're already familiar with. Perhaps the subtitle should've been "21 Surprising Greens You Didn't Even Know About"! It covers little known leafy veggies with superior nutrition, and edible leaves on plants you might already be growing but didn't know you could eat. There are chapters on how to grow greens in healthy living soil, year round production, and harvesting and storing. An appendix offers high quality sources for seeds. The approach is strongly rooted in permaculture, sustainability, organic gardening. Then there's recipes, including my fav molokhia soup, and a carrot & wolfberry-greens stir fry I'm eager to try. The book is basic enough to serve as a guide for a gardening newbie, but also broad enough to offer many juicy tidbits for green thumbs.
