Ramps (& chickweed) pesto #nofoodwaste
I bought too many ramps and too much chickweed a few weekends ago, so made it into pesto! (Yes, I cannot believe I pay for chickweed. It was a pest in my NC garden.) #cityslicker

gustin 8yr Curious what you pay for chickweed? I have literally acres of it that grows wild, makes a great ground cover -
MargaretG 8yr @gustin the farmer john gorzynski charges about 3$ per bunch for all his greens. If you are near NYC on a Saturday morning, it would be worth it to see what he does. He sells things that lots of people consider weeds but that have been used in many different cuisines or for medicinal uses (like mugwort)

MargaretG Thx!
Curious about this challenge - Do others count bread as a whole food? Homemade bread, but not homemade flour?
-
annefood Good question @MargaretG ! Whole grains and products made from whole grains (100% whole wheat bread, for example) are allowed and encouraged, but refined white grains and flours are not. So white...
