Do you grow veggies and fruits for the nutrition?

No. We grow them for freshness and taste and quality and variety. If
they turn out to be more nutritious as well, fine, but that's a side
effect for us.

I read that old age begins at age 27-35 because that's when your body
drastically reduces the amount of enzymes it produces, but you can get
those enzymes from fruits and vegetables and especially sprouts.

You can read almost anything about health and nutrition, especially on
the internet. In my opinion, a great deal of caution is needed to
verify that the sources are reliable. In my experience, Google (and
the like) is an abundant source for horseshit, which works better as a
garden fertilizer than it is does as a nutritional supplement. -aem
