This is a question that's only just come to mind.
I'm looking at my preps, just before going to bed. Milling over everything in my head (not much in there) when it occurred to me that although I'm harvesting rabbits for food, and can forage reasonably well. Those are my fail-safe options. I'm looking to grow all my own food, to get enough fat, carb, and protein. The tinned food is nothing but another fail-safe option for us.
Then it struck me like a brick. Although I'm stocking on multi vitamins and minerals, I should be considering my dietary V+M intake from my harvested selection.
Have you considered your vitamin and mineral intake from the plants you're growing? How have you made it so that your crops, year round, provide all the V+M that your body will need? Have you got the figures for how much you need to grow, and what of?
I'll do some research into this tomorrow, if it's a quiet day at the office (unlikely). But getting some input before hand would be hugely appreciated!
Thank you all in advance for the help.
