This is something I’ve vaguely wondered about when reading about such things as aquaponics or urban farming: how do you deal with the bulk crops, like wheat? This article puts some numbers around it: vegetables are not very calorific (they’re primarily valuable for their micronutrients, not their macronutrients), and while growing vegetables closer to the consumer is a great idea, it’s not, by itself, going to solve agriculture.
When I am in my kitchen…
I separate stems from flower tops.
I then trim the smallest branches to about 19″…..
I use the flowers in salads.
I also use the stems for roasting, some times…
I cut a shallow slice into the back side of the stalks… and scoop out the center pulp… sweet reward
If Green had a taste this could be it.
I balance my diet also with a number of berries, nuts, seeds and tree fruits.
