TRY IT -- YOU'LL LIKE IT
You can easily get a drop of juice from most soft fruits, but some vegetables require a sturdy garlic press. Extreme cases require crushing pliers---and rarely---a blender. Understandably, juicing enthusiasts find this the easiest step.
- YOU, not some scientist in a lab coat, can test the food you want to buy.
- YOU can determine QUALITY at the point of sale.
- YOU will gain back a little control over YOUR life.
Please take readings immediately after getting the juice drop. If the juice dries on the prism, it will give a false reading. You must also be wary when testing dehydrated produce. Drying of a drop, or an entire fruit, creates a false high reading.
However, only HIGH QUALITY produce dehydrates. HIGH BRIX produce ADAMANTLY RESISTS ROTTING IN STORAGE! Check this claim yourself by testing and storing HIGH-BRIX fruit or other produce.
The above statement always comes as a shock to a lecture audience. The typical consumer has been conditioned to expect fruits and vegetables to decompose. That is why I must repeat the above sentence: good food will NOT rot in storage. Please, please, check this claim yourself by testing and then storing HIGH-BRIX fruit or other produce in your refrigerator, or even on a windowsill.
Once you depart your current thinking and enter the poor-food-rots / good-food-doesn’t paradigm, everything else in this book will make sense. |
