The Best Lebanese Vegetables



The Best Lebanese Vegetables Dishes

When we were kids we used to pick the main vegetables from our backyard or from our cousins' gardens... we also learnt to choose the best ones, by that I mean the most fresh... but mainly the season's products...
Nowadays no one in our village is planting anymore, and our only source is the markets... we kept our talent by choosing the most good looking and somewhat fresh... but there is no more seasons... we don't know the origin and how these plants were feed, kept alive or made hyperproductive... Chemicals? Sewage? Pesticides? Insecticides? Radiation?
It is absolutely right that many cancers went undiagnosed in the past centuries, but no one can deny the burst of cancers this century...
I'm moving back to my garden... planting and eating... I know that the quantity is not enough, and the atmosphere is indeed polluted, the rain not pure anymore... but I believe that the taste is different... try it and you will see...
