3. My go-to greens are sprouts I grow myself
Fri Nov 7, 2025, 03:59 PM
Nov 2025

The batches are the right size to avoid waste and the sprouts replace lettuce and so on for all of my greens needs
If I want fresh produce, I buy it in season, just like my parents did, when the average family could afford groceries.
It is awful that the healthy food we should be eating is spiraling out of reach, even if you buy local.
