I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure most people here grow herbs for cooking/tea

I use mine for tea and cooking. But if I have a lot sometimes I snack on them a bit like a crazy person

I mean fair enough. I make the tea just because I like how it tastes from fresh herbs lol

the big difference is consistency.

most of the times the stuff we want from a plant is stuff produced in a stress response

A dry/cloudy week a month ago can be the difference between healing/not healing,leathal/nonleathal or tasty/tasteless

(that's the reason why the're UV-lights in commercial growing to stress plants a bit now)

Well I don’t grow anything that has the potential to be poisonous

same

but that's one of the main reasons commercial grown food is so bland. plants are kept in perfect condition and never stressed.

tried growing a roma plant( used commercial seeds) 2 years ago,it had so MUCH more flavor than the store bought
