Don't you all think that fresh food is becoming less nutritious than in our grandparents' day?
If yes what is the probable reason behind? Is it the way we produce and process food that affected the mineral and vitamin content of what we eat?
No, fresh food is not as nutrituous as it once was. Food and vitamin standards were last seriously evaluated in the 1960s. Since then hydroponics and global agrinomy have evolved. If I grow you lettuce in a tank of tap water will it have the same vitamins and minerals as if I grow it in the soil? NO. it will NOT. Simple answer to your question. However, a 7.38$ organic cucumber is probably not worth it nutritionally versus a $0.48 non organic one. Standards are in dire need of revamping for the post 2K 2000 era to make intelligent decisions.
If polyphenols is important, No, you have cook 5-10 min. However, for almost all vitamins, yes, fresh is better
