JUNK FOOD Do we have to wait till it is too late? Do we want to put STUFF in our mouths, which is making us sick and eventually kills us, due to a failure to nourish our bodies? Well, here is just one report, which was printed in the Sydney newspaper “The Telegraph” on Saturday, […]

“Vitamins and minerals in fresh food” RHUBARB Rhubarb is one of those vegetables you either love or hate. Some people cannot stand the tart-ness and furry taste of rhubarb. My personal thought is not so much the rhubarb, but the amount of sugar people use to make it sweet. As mentioned before, sugar is a […]

“Vitamins and Minerals in fresh food” PUMPKINS As in potatoes, there are many varieties of pumpkins and they will cross-pollinate very easily as well.
