Thank you I found the article very interesting, as I have just started to eat peel on vegetables I soak my Vegas in water first before scrubbing as it releases more soil.

This year I am going to try and grow more vegetables, I grow them in veg sacks which are easy to move around.

This sounds very interesting. Which vegetables are you planning to grow/plant this year?

[Blackcat1M in reply to Activity2004]

Green beans, broad beans

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to Blackcat1M]

That’s great to hear! One of my favorite types of bean is green beans.😀👍

[Blackcat1M in reply to Activity2004]

I have not tried broad beans before but will give it ago

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to Blackcat1M]

That’s great! It’s nice to try something new now and then. Please let us know what you think about them when you’re ready.😀👍

You’ll need to sow the broadbeans NOW if you haven’t already done so! Unlike other beans, it’s important to sow them very early/in cold spell (Dec-Feb). 🌱 🥶 😊

I don’t have a greenhouse Cani just plant the beans in my bag🤔

[Simes11 in reply to Blackcat1M]

Hi, yes! Broadbeans don’t need the protection of a greenhouse (or warm windowsill, etc). Just pop them into a seed tray or small pots & leave them outside. 😊

I like to always eat the edible peels after a good soak. Thanks for sharing.

Glad that you enjoyed the article and it's very helpful, Imaaan . I like a lot of the same fruits/vegetables that the article had mentioned in the list.

I'm thinking of posting another article also from healthline.com dealing with protein.

I tend to read articles from healthline and other sources as well
