The couple of times I've spent time on (partially) self-sufficient communities, the gardens had a much larger variety of food than I've seen elsewhere - as many native-growable species as a large supermarket, and more (and more interesting) varieties. And that's without considering the forage (sorrel, chickweed, &c.) too.
