Guest guest Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Here's a link to a High Brix gardening and farming site where they are doing some real research to prove what Weston A. Price said all along, our food now is NUTRIENT POOR. This thanks to depleted soils, inferior genetic stock (especially GMO) and the use of pesticides and chemicals. This site was sent to me by JOHN MYSER, and one of the studies included organic beets coming from his soil-enriched Prior Lake area garden.... This is an eye-popper... Now THAT'S a beet! Will Winter http://transitionlummiisland.com/nutrient-dense-project In 2010 we did a lot of talking about the questions and how to find the answers. We had laboratory tests done for soil minerals and then amended the soils we were growing crops in. We grew vegetable gardens, pastures, and fruits and sent a few samples of the forage and crops to the lab for nutrient testing and got back some remarkable and encouraging results. For example, Detroit Dark Red beets grown in mineral-amended soil measured, in comparison to USDA averages, an increase of Protein: +193% Calcium: +931% Phosphorus: +77% Magnesium: +122% Zinc: +151% Copper: +140% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
