Imagine a world where vegetables fight off disease, hunger, malnutrition, obesity, cancer, deforestation, desertification, global warming . . .

Our Belief

Batbean is a blog where vegetables are depicted as superheroes because they are.  Vegetables promote health, reduce the risk of many diseases, and absorb carbon dioxide. That vegetables can produce food and provide oxygen for billions of people using sun, water, air, soil, soil nutrients, soil animals (like the worm), and insects (like the bee) is simply amazing. This blog posts articles, essays, opinions, and stories about food, gardening, recipes, travel, ideas on living green, or anything about vegetables. And it starts with a series of children’s stories about Batbean.
