"TomAto, TomAHto": Turns out not all tomatoes are created equally

Wednesday, August 24, 2011, 7:08 pm

 

Since the 1950's, the nutrient density of our veggies has plummeted. For instance, according to Grist's infographic, which depicts how different vegetables have depleted in nutritional value from 1950-1999, tomatoes have decreased 55% in calcium, 25% in iron, and 17% in ascorbic acid (a type of vitamin C). Why, you ask, did our grandparents get to enjoy the juicy fruits of their labor? Well, that's just it...it took more labor!

 

What's the deal?

While it's true that the soil today is more depleted (due to increased pesticide and fertilizer use), the main difference is that we simply grow different varities of veggies than we used to - ones that have a higher yield, a decreased time to harvest and a greater resistance to pests and disease. This makes the arduous task of farming much easier.

 

This "selective breeding" of high-yield produce produces bigger and more plentiful vegetables, but the nutrients are lacking. It's all about quantity, not quality. The more produce we get from one stalk, the less nutrients there are to go around...they've been diluted, so to speak.

 

So how can we ensure we're eating our grandma's veggies?

Donald Davis, a now-retired scientist from the University of Texas at Austin, suggests choosing non-hybrid varities like heirloom tomatoes. Not only are they more nutrient-dense, they actually taste better! These low-yield varities are more widely available seasonally, so make your way to your local farmer's market today and enjoy the best that our summer soil has to offer!

 

Some supplements ARE necessary

No matter how many dark, leafy green veggies we consume daily, we are simply not getting all the vitamins and nutrients our cells need. Due to the effects of the standard american diet, depleted soils, increased chemical exposure, etc., it's absolutely crucial that we supplement our diet with a whole-food based daily multi. Our Greens Mix is simply the best you can get. Air-dried grasses from the pristine soils of South America, Greens Mix provides the foundation for good health. From fighting sickness and promoting detoxification to strengthening digestion and hair/nail/skin health, Greens Mix is the answer!
