I have amaranth growing but the raw leaves taste like grass to me. What's the best way to prepare them?
I often use basil as a green in the summer. I love having a variety of basil. Pesto can be a great source of nutrition. I also live mint in my water,I eat the leaves when I'm done. Chocolate mint is my favorite. Also makes a wonderful juice mixed with cucumber,lemon and ginger,run through the juicing machine. Add vodka or rum if you want a summer cocktail.
I didn't like the sweet potato vines I grew but I only tried one grocery store variety. Must taste pretty good because my dogs would " graze " on them.
