Did you know that the more minerals a fruit or vegetable has, the better it will taste?
Because of our several food sensitivities, as we’ve traveled to many places in the world, we’ve tried to eat primarily fruits and vegetables. Finding quality produce has been a BIG challenge. Japan has been the only place we’ve found really good quality produce on a regular basis, but we had to pay dearly for it.
We’ve recently come across some information that ties a lot of ideas together for us. We’ve long wanted a farm where we could grow enough for ourselves and for others. Now we really want to find a place where we can grow our own food.
Our recent discoveries started while talking to a farmer and eating one of the most delicious peaches I’ve ever had. He said the soil is DG soil. I asked him what DG soil is. He said decomposed granite.
The next day, I decided to find out what kind of results farmers were having with decomposed granite. Aware that the people at Remineralize the Earth have experience with ground up rocks, went there and discovered the Real Food Campaign
I have to eat five apples today to get the same nutrition I did from one apple when I was five? Actually, I’m not surprised. I’ve heard from many sources about the mineral levels in our foods and soils going down. The above article also mentioned the term “high brix”. I knew a little about brix refractometers, and had looked through one once, but the next link really got me interested.
Can poor quality grapes lead to indigestion?
I could go on, but I think this is enough for now. We’re dreaming of finding a farm in northern California where we can grow such diverse foods as citrus and blueberries. We’ve found one such area so far where it actually can be done. Imagine cherries and raspberries along with oranges, persimmons, and pomegranate?
