Grow Your Own Supplements: Magnesium

[@jbjacres3711]

When I was young I remember my Mom asking my Pediatrician (at an annual visit) if she needed to be giving my sister and I a vitamin. I loved his answer. He asked her if she was feeding us fresh veggies and fruits. She said yes we grow a garden every year (and her brother supplied us with fruit from his orchard). He said that's good, do you feed them good quality meat. She said yes we raise our own cattle (her brothers raised chickens which we traded some for beef and her mom raised laying hens for eggs). He basically told her that he only recommend supplements to people that didn't want to eat a healthy diet. I wish we had more doctors like him but that was more years ago then I care to admit and the doctors today don't really care to study nutrition.

Heidi, I too struggled to grow organic tumeric root then one day I discovered if you moisten them and put them in a snap lock bag, leave an end of the bag open a little you create like a mini greenhouse for them which makes them sprout. This method also works for things like Chestnuts if you are wanting to grow those as well

[@RainCountryHomestead]

That is cool. I tried many ways and decided it was not worth it to me to keep hassling with it in my limited space when I can use that space for other things more precious to me and buy organic turmeric in bulk.

Occasionally, I make myself a treat with cacao nibs and coconut oil & shredded coconut, mixing with crushed chia, flax seed, and hemp seeds. I add a little honey for sweetness. After forming the mixture into balls, I place them in the freezer so they solidify. Then, I roll the mini balls into cocoa powder to coat the outside all around. The coconut is filling, and satisfies my sweet tooth. TY, Heidi for your super great ideas on ways to stay healthy.💗

Heidi, I have been making powdered greens for a number of years now. I have a nutribulletRX due to diaphragm surgery. I do not make drinks as much as I used to, but I add the greens to just about everything I do. This year has been bad as I am battling a bunny who thinks that I planted just for it. I put up cloth last night and so far, seems to be working. I grew Amaranth for my chickens last year and they were not interested until it flowered and then they devoured it. Well, when I clean out the coop, I put the mess all in a pile and it composts beautifully (a little high in Nitrogen for the garden - so add epsom salts) - but this year, it is growing Amaranth - lots of amaranth. And, I grew red chard for them and they were not real interested - but I thought it was pretty for a salad and started picking some to dress it up - well, it is delicious. Don't think I will ever even consider kale (tried it - no no). I take my crops during the seasons when there is too much for me and I clean and dehydrate (and yes, I dry them out some before to save time). They are all kinds of mixes from red lettuce to endive - about anything - except parsley and spinach (I do them separately). I just put the year on the jar and keep using it in everything - my mushroom dishes, mashed potatoes, eggs, etc. If you read all the charts, I could never eat enough of it (not concentrated like this) and get enough nutrition. OH and the king and queen of greens is parsley and pretty easy to grow with no bunny 😞 BTW, did you know that bunnies are MUCH faster than even German shepherds. Really fast! I read many years ago that parsley has more nutrition per spoonful (or any measurement) than anything else you can eat. You do not have to eat the curly thing on top of your piece of meat - just powder it and into every pot of beans or casserole or stir fry, etc.

I grind flax seed in the blender and I put rolled oats in the blender with it to absorb the oil so it doesn't get lumpy. Rice flour or other gluten free flour provides the same effect.

Peas, buckwheat, and sunflowers all make great microgreens you can grow indoors or outside. I like to grow these in Ocean Solutions potting mix so that I can keep them growing for 3-4 weeks and harvest just what I want to eat each day.

[@darlatobin2240]

What seeds should we NOT eat the micro greens? Do you know?

[@Growmap]

There are a lot of plants we wouldn't eat. But if you shop somewhere like True Leaf Market, they're not going to sell seeds labeled "microgreens" if we shouldn't eat them. They also sell kits for people getting started. But I can tell you that peas, buckwheat, sunflowers, radishes, brassicas (cabbage, broccoli, etc.), basil, and salad mixes are all great. I don't bother with beets because although they're tasty and have big seeds, they produce sprouts and greens so small it isn't worth it to me to grow them. I do research when choosing microgreens for poultry because sometimes what we can eat differs from what they should eat. (Not often.) @@darlatobin2240

@jcgirl3 I also read that people with sensitive stomachs to Moringa benefit from lightly cooking it before drying it.

Hope that helps! ❤️

@gardengatesopen also, drink the liquid from boiling as many of the nutrients are in the water. I'm not sure about the taste, but maybe cornbread will help 😉

[@gardengatesopen]

@Lois Ray yes, maybe cornbread WILL help! Good idea. ❤️ But hopefully, the light cooking process will not claim too many nutrients.
