I used to grow organic kale, collards & chard too. I'd put them in smoothies with tumeric & ground pepper. 🤮
Then I found out about oxalates & the damage they do to your kidneys & blood vessels.
Plants generally don't want animals eating their leaves, stems & seeds.
I now only grow fruits, roots & herbs to eat.
Right 🫡
What roots?
Yuka, sweet potato & taro are what I grow
Because they're below ground, the plants greatest threat tends to be fungi. Yuka & taro need to be boiled in water to neutralize the cyanide/oxalates before eating, however.
I tend to grow them as a source of starch/calories rather than nutrition though.
Raw grated carrots are known to have antifungal properties.
