We've talked a lot about the environmental and economic promise of the clean-water crops being developed by the University of Minnesota's Forever Green. But some of these crops also make pretty darn tasty treats — many of which are available to buy online.

Below are some of the businesses selling products made with Forever Green crops. This list is not exhaustive, and some of these items might be small batches that go in and out of stock. (If something isn't available right now, check again at a later date.)
