Most of us have heard that the nutritional value of our fruits and veggies are declining because we are modifying the plants to produce “big and pretty”, losing on flavour and nutrition. Have you heard this one?
Check out this site for more information: plants draw in and store minerals in their stalks, and when it comes time to create a fruit or vegetable, the plants pull out the minerals and transform them into beneficial nutrients in the fruit. If there isn’t as much storage space, there won’t be as many nutrients in the fruits. -- - Debbie, SW Ontario Canada (USDA Hardiness Zone: 5a) |
