Define "Single Ingredient Food" !

How might you define "Single Ingredient Food"? Something like the Cabbage Soup diet? Maybe the Grapefruit, Negative-Calorie, or Apple Cider Vinegar diet?
 
Actually, NO! However, can you identify each ingredient in your meals? I've read that if you go to Ronald's place...the one with arches, and buy a BigMac meal, including fries and a soda, you've consumed over 110 different ingredients (many of which you can't even pronounce). And reports claim that the Subway at the other end of the mall serves up a similar (or greater) number of unidentifiable substances!

If you make a green salad, with lettuces, cucumbers, tomatos, radished, etc., each ingredient is known to you. When we make mashed potatoes, we begin with fresh, whole spuds, and can actually identify what's in the finished product.

My quest in this is to learn and apply in our family, and then share what we are learning! Some of you are aware that we are changing our approach to preparing and managing our home gardening methods. We will discuss over time how all this drives us "CLOSER TO THE SOURCE"!
