{"Page URL":"https://www.appropedia.org/Heirloom_vegetables","Page description":"[[Heirloom vegetables]] are the varieties of vegetables that were available prior to the major onset of monoculture approaches to producing vegetable crops, mostly prior to WWII. They are vegetables handed down the generations of families and local communities. They are unique, individual, often very different from their monoculture, standardised cousins. They may have different colours, shapes, sizes and even textures, all depending on what has been favoured for keeping and passing on over the decades and centuries. To the eyes of some people, they may appear misshapen or imperfect in some respects but that is deceptive, as they are tasty, nutritious and enjoyable.","Page image":"File:Heirloombundleveggies.png","Page language":"en","Page license":"CC-BY-SA-3.0","Page title":"Heirloom vegetables","Page views":"100","Page year":"Sunday, 01-Jan-17 00:00:00 UTC","Modification date":"Thursday, 27-Nov-25 20:01:39 UTC"}
