Agreed as long as they are organic produce.

Very interesting. I found that it takes me hours to peel the hull
from grains for eating a moderate amount. Also I seem to belong
to the hunter-type of genetic makeup who doesn't need grains - they
are tasteless to me.

Can you estimate the amounts (weight) of grains you consume
weekly by foraging in the fields?

Best raw regards,
