Vitamin & Mineral Loss
The longer it sits, the weaker it gets.
The Invisible Problem After Harvest
Most people don't realize:
From the moment produce is picked, it starts losing power.
Water-soluble vitamins like Vitamin C and B Vitamins are highly unstable.
Antioxidants, enzymes, and minerals degrade under light, heat, and oxygen exposure.
Nutrient density begins declining within hours, not days.
Freshness is not a luxury. It's the difference between fueling your body... or fooling it.
Real Data on Vitamin & Mineral Loss
Scientific studies show alarming losses:
Spinach loses up to 90% of its Vitamin C within 24 hours of picking (Penn State University).
Green Peas lose up to 51% of Vitamin C within 48 hours of harvest (Healthline).
Broccoli loses over 75% of glucosinolate compounds (cancer-protective nutrients) after 7 days in cold storage (USDA Research).
Strawberries lose 30% of antioxidants after just 2 days at room temperature (Cleveland Clinic).
Meanwhile, the average grocery store vegetable is already 7–14 days old by the time you buy it — and that’s before you store it at home.
Why Industrial Food Chains Fail Nutritionally
The modern food system is built around:
Long-haul trucking
Cold storage facilities
Warehouse sorting
Supermarket display times
This means: ✅ Food picked before ripeness
✅ Food exposed to artificial ripening gases
✅ Food degrading silently over weeks
By the time you eat a “fresh” grocery store salad, it could have lost half or more of its original vitamins and minerals.
You’re paying full price for half the nutrition.
Produce Now’s Solution — Nutrients at Their Peak
Produce Now Grow Pods harvest at the moment of peak power:
Crops grown in sealed, climate-optimized environments
No transit delay between harvest and delivery
No gas ripening, no chemical treatments
Delivered to consumers within 48 hours — while nutrients are still at full biological strength
This is farm-to-body — not farm-to-warehouse-to-truck-to-shelf-to-trash.
What Full Nutrition Does for You
When you eat produce that hasn’t been robbed of its nutrients:
Faster muscle recovery after training
Stronger immune system defense
Better digestion and gut health
Clearer skin and cellular repair
Steadier energy levels without crashes
Sharper cognitive function from full B Vitamin, Magnesium, and Antioxidant intake
It’s not just about eating “clean.”
It’s about eating at full force.
