I often choose ugly-looking vegetables. Can you guess why? 😊
Most people would leave these behind. I pick them first, and local farmers love me as a customer 😉
There is something I really enjoy about it
standing there, choosing the “imperfect” ones, knowing they often have more to offer
When a plant grows in a harsh environment, it has to PROTECT itself
It produces more polyphenols and antioxidants to survive sun, wind, and pests
These compounds help reduce inflammation, support detox pathways, and protect your cells from oxidative stress
You can taste it too 😊
More bitter, more pungent
Have you ever tried rocket in Italy vs supermarket taste?
If you don’t have access to local farmers, you can look into crowdfarming projects 🌱
Food is not just calories
It’s INFORMATION for your body
This is one small piece of the functional medicine matrix I teach my clients
understanding what you eat, why it matters, and how it actually makes you feel
If you’re curious how this connects to your hormones, digestion, and energy
just message me 😊
