Freshness

From picking to eating the clock is ticking.

We are naturally meant to pick and eat. As foragers we used to do this however we culturally chose singular trades and indirectly traded for someone else to grow the food.

So now we dont know who grows our food, how they grow it and have little say to how its presented to us.

Preservation chemicals and freezing methods can cause a lack in the produce meaning they look ok and fill a stomach but do not perform the fullness of health they are meant to do for us.

So organic vegetables are seen to be a solution however a simular thing appears when they are shelved.

Whilst shelved vegetables lose mainly vitamins which is alike to a fuel can leaking petrol. We may end up eating just a fuel can.

So three main factors cause this…. oxygen, light and heat. Therefore the quicker we eat veg from the ground the fuller it is.

The solutions are:

– To pay more and support local fresh grocery stores for your health and for your community.
– A fresh organic supplier
– Grow your own and pick as needed
