For Research - Nutrition class-

Ladies and gents, boys and girls...
I think we'll all agree that home grown anything tastes better than store bought.

Transport time between field and plate means a loss of volatile nutrients, and organic material begins to break down.

I'd like to find numbers, hard numbers done by chemists. I don't have anyone in a biology lab, these days. (For a while, a friend of mine worked for a subcontractor to the EPA... but that was a couple of decades ago.)
Does anyone have such a connection?

Thanks,
Melody

test the brix levels at different stages - that will tell a story ;)

They might... but they'll probably be written in Inuit... :lol:

I think that's a reasonable question.

I expect that most of us who grow our own food are not totally self-sufficient and have buy stuff from the shops from time to time.

Here is an article that covers the topic in a general way and has a reference list with information from some reputable scientific journals.
