The Source of Nutrient Density
I was able to show that regenerative and organic growing practices result in production of citrus with nutrient levels far in excess of those in fruit grown with conventional production practices. I attribute the increases in nutrient density to establishment of a healthy soil microbiome.
The Healing Power of Citrus
After analysis at a USDA Certified Lab, we determined that fruit grown regeneratively wasn’t just a little more nutritious, it couldn’t even be measured in percentages. It was multiples better (8X!) and, in several cases, it was exponentially more nutritious. This blog traces the reasons for my complete transformation from a career in the pesticide industry to a passionate advocate for the organic regenerative farming movement and their human health implications.
