The real reason the French don’t get fat

44. I never liked asparagus, brussel sprouts or beets

until I grew my own. OMG the world of difference you get in flavor when you don't use fake fertilizers, bug sprays and round up on every inch of garden.

I grow and sell radishes. Most people don't like them because they think they are hard little balls with no flavor. My radishes are crispy and spicy with a creamy sweetness in the middle. A world of difference in flavor. I can't bring enough radishes to market. They sell out every time. But now it has gotten too hot for even the D'Avignon radishes and I must wait until fall to fill my mouth with the creamy, sweet spicy flavor of a crisp radish.

And have you tasted the earthiness of a small tomatillo that is purple, yellow or green? Not those giant bland green balls they push in the grocery stores but purple and yellow earthy flavored tangy juiciness to make a real salsa. And then there are the mushrooms.
