You have many reasons to start a vegetable garden-whether it's your first or 50th. But have you ever thought about planting a garden to replace your bottle of vitamins?
Fresh fruits and vegetables contain most all of the vitamins we need on a daily basis. And whilehomegrown food is not a replacement for therapeutic grade supplements, you can reduce or even eliminate the need of supplements with a healthy garden full of fruits or vegetables.
Let's take a look at a standard multivitamin and what it contains. This is the vitamin and mineral section from the Whole Foods 365 Brand Adult Multi for Women:
Vitamin A (as beta carotene): 5,000 IUs 100% RDA
Vitamin C: 120 mg 200% RDA
Vitamin D: 400 IUs 100% RDA
Vitamin E: 100 IUs 333% RDA
Vitamin K: 100mg 125% RDA
Thiamin (B1): 25 mg 1667% RDA
