About this ebook

  • The author is the founder of Leaf for Life, a nonprofit focused on how to best use leaf crops in the human diet.
  • Eat Your Greens combines maximizing nutrition, innovative gardening techniques, environmental stewardship and self-sufficiency.
  • This is the author's fourth book about leaf crops and human nutrition. (Previous three were self-published.)
  • The author has an MA in Food Systems and has been organic gardening for 40years.
  • Leaf crops produce more nutrients per square foot of growing space and per day of growing season than any other crops
  • The book demonstrates how familiar garden plants such as sweet potato, beans, peas and pumpkins can be grown to provide both edible leaves and other calorie- and protein-rich foods
  • The book introduces readers to unfamiliar leaf crops such as chaya, moringa, soko, basella, jute, amaranth, toon, wolberry, Okinawan spinach, and others.
  • There are plenty of good books on vegetable gardening, but few that focus on leaf crops.
  • The book outlines some unique techniques like solar drying and grinding of leaves to make use of tougher leaves; avoiding pesticides; as well as information on making leaf concentrate and extracts.
