With our spring planting season right around the corner, it's time to start planning our vegetable garden.
This year, I've involved the kids in the decision making, encouraging them to expand their horizons and choose beyond their usual favorites.
We were discussing what vegetables are considered to be the most nutrient dense, as well as the ones known to be the easiest to plant and reap the benefits from.
Of course, you're not exactly going to find a vegetable out there that is "bad". Some are considered "nightshade" vegetables and can aggravate autoimmune conditions and chronic inflammation. Others are certainly higher in glycemic index, although not as high as a candy bar! It's all relative.
