Growing up, this writer would often be scolded by her parents for not eating enough greens. The sight of a leafy dish would often prompt us to flee from the table altogether. Though the situation has changed considerably over the years with us and many of our ilk, to the point where we subconsciously scan restaurant menus for dishes that have veggies or micro greens in them — one’s vocabulary for the unknown, flavourful and nutritious herbs and plants that nature has to offer remains woefully limited. So, when we came across Forgotten Greens, an online project conducting a wild food walk in Kharghar for the first time in the city, it intrigued us.
