On our daily rounds at the supermarket we will visit the vegetable isle and pick what veg we fancy to go with our meals. Turning our nose up at some and loving others. Also looking at some of the veg thinking perhaps, not this time but maybe one day as we may not be adventourous that week to try something new.
How often do you stop and look at the veg and think, how did we get Brussel Sprouts or Broccoli?
Did you know that a good proportion of your veg came from one plant that has been cultivated and bred over hundreds of years? The Brassica family comes from the Wild Mustard Plant.
Humans have been cultivating and breeding wild plants for years to get the variety of veg that is now available for our plates. A great talking point at your next Family Sunday Roast. What wild plants did the veg your eating today come from?
