Green, green, green, just the colour itself is so beautiful. I haven't found anything I love more than a big bowl of healthy steamed, green vegetables bursting with vitamins and minerals. Loads and loads of fresh nutritious greens = Übergoodness!

Of course, the quality and heritage of these veggies play a vital role in taste, appearance and nutrition. We have a little garden with a few pots of spinach, kale, silverbeet and herbs. They grow all year round and need very little maintenance (as long as you water them). It's so easy to walk outside and pick a few leaves - food voila! Almost everything else comes from a local organic grower at the farmers market.

In my opinion pesticides and foods don't mix. Full stop.

"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food" (Hippocrates).

Wise words and you need little common sense to understand that pesticides don't fit in with this timeless philosophy. Living in our polluted world we have enough toxins to deal with on a daily base. But the best argument for eating organic produce is simply because the food has more nutrients.
