Health conscious people are aware that most foods sold in modern supermarkets are deficient in the nutrients essential for good health. There are several reasons for this, but farmers who grow produce in mineral deficient soils have a great influence on the nutrients available in our modern diet. Buying organic fruits and vegetables can help since proper crop rotation practices are used on organic farms to reduce soil depletion. However, simply buying produce that has been grown organically does not mean the level of nutrition is sufficient for good health.
