Plant Your Super Foods Now for Winter Nourishment

Now is the time to plant your fall crop of Superfoods such as kale, cabbage, collards, spinach, carrots, lettuce radish...  If you don't presently have a garden, it is the perfect time to start one!  You can dedicate a small space in your yard and begin growing these foods that will nourish you beyond belief.  If you don't have a yard, you can begin by using containers.  The containers can be placed close to the kitchen for easy access.  Just be sure your garden area receives 6 hours of sunlight per day.

These fall veggies are very easy to grow and prepare for cooking.  They are very low in sugar and will nourish you without raising insulin levels.  They are also very low in calories.  Most can be sauteed in coconut or extra virgin olive oil in just a few minutes.

It is very gratifying to step outside and pick a healthy "mess" of greens and saute them up for dinner; or step outside and pick lettuce, radish and carrots for a nice salad to compliment your protein.  The best part is knowing these super foods are helping you nourish your body and fight degenerative disease!

Pick up some seeds the next time you are out and give it a try!

  1. What varieties do you like best for our area? Do you choose organic, non gmo seed or is that worth the extra money versus the yield?
