How I use this list: I treat it like my weekly “home base.” If I can work most of these into meals and snacks, I’m off to a strong start—then I build outward with other colorful plants.

We’re not limited to these plants. Add as many more as you desire—especially herbs, spices, nuts, and seeds (as long as you’re not allergic to them).
