You will agree with me that survival plants are a necessity, whether you are in the jungle, lost without food or you are preparing for a disaster; for example, the COVID-19 pandemic. But the big question is, should you grow survival plants? Well, the answer is yes and below are reasons why this is a worthy undertaking.
Personal Food Security
While survival food plants are in abundance in the forests, you are not sure of getting them when in need, so having them in your garden is the best choice. Survival plants such as sweet potatoes can come in handy when food is scarce. On the other hand, the dandelions, thistles and balsam roots can be great vegetables when you run out of the supply of your ordinary choices.
Unavailability at Grocery Stores
We all understand that among the benefits of 
survival plants is the rich nutrients and overall health benefits. But then, it’s tough to find them in your local grocery stores, and even if you find them, they retail at exorbitant rates. How about having them in your survival garden? This is the easiest way to incorporate them into your diet at a reduced cost.
No Chemicals
Survival plants fetch huge profits, and now that there’s awareness of their healing properties, many entrepreneurs are growing them for commercial purposes. Just like other plants, they end up using chemicals such as pesticides and herbicides, which have obvious effects on our health. So, if you want the best from survival plants, it’s better if you grow them yourself.
There you have it, folks; three reasons why you should grow your survival plant foods instead of relying on the wild or the handful of grocers who stock them.
