You will never be able to get vegetables as fresh as that from the shops and you certainly will be able to taste the difference in the extra freshness that you will get with every bite. Many vegetables taste just as good, if not better, eaten fresh from the garden without even cooking them. Peas, beans, tomatoes and the like are all ready to be eaten and enjoyed as they are picked. |
