Grow a Salad in Your City Apartment

By Rosemary Hansen

Fresh foods straight from the garden still retain their highly-nutritious vitamins and enzymes versus store-bought produce.In most of the world's cities, produce is shipped from half-way around the world to your local grocery stores. These highly-traveled foods have up to 30%-46% less nutrients in them because of travel time and from being picked green. You're losing key nutrients like lutein, beta carotene, lycopene, Vitamin C, and antioxidants. But, growing food in a city seems impossible with no space, right?
