The 50 Most Nutrient-Dense Plants
Do you want to know how to get the most “bang for your [calorie] buck”? This week on In the Garden with UC Master Gardeners, we revisit a great show from 2015.

We will get your taste buds and green thumbs in tune. UCCE Master Gardener Ann Liu will talk with Cathy Thomas, author of “50 Best Plants on the Planet” and served as featured food writer for the OC Register and more recently Orange Coast Magazine.

Cathy will educate you on the most nutrient-dense fruits and vegetables per calorie to grow and use in your kitchen. Kale, asparagus, chard, kumquats, and BRUSSELS SPROUTS! Just to name a few. And easy-to-grow tarragon!
