- 7 of your 5 a day - 400 calories - will cost under £1 a serving - has enough natural nitrates to be considered a full pre-workout supplement (like beet juice). - frankly insane profile of vitamins and minerals - you should NOT take multivitamins with this. - delicious buttery taste with LOTs of spice and flavour. - Only requires you to shop once every 6 months - 4 minutes of prep time (but you can cut it down to 2), 20 minutes of cooking time, and you make more than one at once. - Actually tastes better after one day in fridge after cooking - May be able to cook 4 or more at once.
All ingredients are bought in bulk and frozen (quick frozen). They keep all their nutrition this way. Only way nutrients will be lost is through pressure cooking; though the lower temp of pressure cookers helps, and cooking increases bioavailability of some nutrients.
I call it SuperSaag.
In this thread I will be posting price research / storage research / nutrition research.
This will be an original research MEGATHREAD so if you are interested then give us a bump and your critique / questions.
You should aim to at least one of each within your 6 types.
The hardest to come by are the edible green leaves like "dandelion leaves". Its easy to find them in your garden but not supermarkets.
I will be buying these frozen in bulk from suppliers though - they do sell them. Price lists from one supplier in my next post.
BTW you need to look like a company when contacting suppliers. I used my dad's company name and contact details. Contact any friends / family members that own a company (any type at all is fine) and ask them for permission.

BULK FROZEN FRUIT PRICES.
These are OK. I've seen cheaper. One company has frozen strawberries for half the price. But everything else seems standard price.
I will be ordering frozen blueberries, raspberries and strawberries as well as my Saag ingredients. I add these frozen to my protein shake to get the sugar post workout. They make up 3 portions of fruit very easily because they are so nutrient dense.
Only put two portions in your protein shake though - standard guideline is you arent allowed to drink more than 2 potions of fruit or veg a day.
If you do that with your protein shakes then you are now up to the holy 10 portions of fruit and veg a day (3 fruit and 7 veg being best balance).
You can make all your other calories sweet potatoes, chicken, oils, tuna, steak. The kind of shit that you see the teenagers on here eating while going months without any fruit or veg
