Finding fresh food in the winter.

Where does all that fresh produce come from in the middle of an artic blast?

Do not be deceived by a pretty organic label or "fresh" label in the grocery store. You know that food has to be coming from the southern hemisphere where regulations are nothing compared to the U.S.; so how do we get healthy food in the winter.

The truth is, we honestly have no real way of knowing at this time how or where our food has been raised and under what standards overseas. We can wash the food to try and get rid of chemicals but that will not help the systemic action of the chemicals.

The only true way to know what we are eating is to know the grower or grow it ourselves then flash freeze that food to eat in the winter time. This is just to eliminate the chemical element but does not consider what nutrients may have been lost in the freezing process.

We do know that the faster you freeze your fresh food the better it retains nutrients.

I know others that are doing the drying process but there isn't enough research yet to show how much we retain in nutrients under that process.
