Tomato, Say It Isn't So!
I believe vegetables have a bad reputation when we're introduced to them at the dinner table. When we're younger, we grimace our faces and protest eating them. As kids, we believe vegetables are gross, disgusting, unnecessary - you name it!

Backyard Blues
Black people have long used nature to heal ourselves when segregated hosptials refused, feed ourselves and communities, and live a sovereighn lifestyle. But with the commercialization of gardening and farming upon us, access to gardening tools, seeds, and even plots of land has become scarcer. That's where foraging comes in. Foraging is the act of searching for wild food sources whether that be in a nearby forest, along the beach, or outside of your apartment complex. Alexis Nikole Nelson's foraging TikToks have gone viral since the pandemic first hit in the United States last spring; her videos chronicling nature walks, plant classification, her segment Poison or Sncacc, and cooking her newly foraged flora have garnered well over 400,000 views on TikTok, some even reaching the one million mark. Nelson's content cleverly mixes in her humor and sunny personality to build on a radical tradition of existing in harmony with the land to nourish ourselves and communities.

This is one of the main reasons why it is becoming so popular among people trying to reduce their carbohydrate consumption. The rice grain does not have any sugar, making it even more attractive to people who want to limit their intake of carbs. Organic Rice is a lot healthier than conventionally grown rice. While it may not look as beautiful, it still has all the vitamins and minerals your body needs.

Going Nuts on the Farm
Welcome to my little farm. One of my alltime favorite things to do is plant stuff. There’s just something about putting a tiny seed in the earth and watching new life pop out of the ground that I cannot help but marvel at. It gets me every time.

What Is Breadfruit?
When I was introduced to breadfruit, I saw it on Christina Milan's Instagram. I was intrigued by her Instagram post when she sliced into the bright, yet mellow green skin vegetable exposing the pale yellow whitish interior. As she was perplexed on if she could or should eat the vegetable, Milan expressed she enjoyed tasting breadfruit for the first time.

The Coconut Tree
Coconut palms are extremely popular and valuable because they have helped to sustain life in this part of the planet since the dawn of time. However, they are an invasive species and once established on an island, they start to take over. They have the ability to thrive in inhospitable environments, reach high altitudes, and produce dozens of coconuts year after year - 24 / 7. Coconut palms, however, are invasive and the culmination of a species, as they reach higher altitudes, thrive more easily, and tend to be more resistant to disease than their larger relatives. The dwarf coconut palm is a popular choice for planting palm trees in homes, gardens and parks because it is more susceptible to disease than its larger relative.
