Tomatoland: How Modern Industrial Agriculture Destroyed Our Most Alluring Fruit | Barry Estabrook

?"According to analyses conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 100 grams of fresh tomato today has 30 percent less vitamin C, 30 percent less thiamin, 19 percent less niacin, and 62 percent less calcium than it did in the 1960s. But the modern tomato does shame it's counterpart in one area: It contains fourteen times as much sodium."?

My organic, historic heirloom seed grown plant is thriving! First plants I've grown from seedlings.

Jess_Read_This 👆🏼I went overboard and have about 15 tomato plants.. after giving away about another 15 plants. I may have gotten carried away on Seed Savers Exchange this spring. Scary statistics though how our food quality has changed over the decades! #tomato #gardening #summertime. (edited) 7y

EchoLogical I'm curious to know how this came to be. Any idea? 7y

tpixie @Jess_Read_This I started with 3 little tomato and 3 pepper plants from Seed Savers Exchange. Congrats 🎈 on being brave enough to start from seeds! Having 15 plants may give you enough tomatoes at one time to make something with it. I just have three tomato plants and so I usually just eat them right off the vine because they don't I don't get enough at one time to make a sauce or salsa 💃🏻 7y

Jess_Read_This @EchoLogical I don't have the full picture, I just discovered this book. I am thinking part of the problem is the creation of hybrids that are "resistant" to insects and disease. This hybridization (or GMO) alters the structure of the plant. The description in the synopsis of the pesticides used in commercial growing is scary. But I had no idea the nutritional composition has changed too! I always thought my store bought ones taste salty too!! 7y

Jess_Read_This @tpixie Oh cool! This is my first year buying from SSE and love the company! I planted 3 different pumpkin varieties too. Post pics of your plants! I usually eat them off the vine too.. and make tomato sandwiches and caprese salads. I have to figure something out this year.. I'm the only one in my house that eats tomatos! Salsa might be the thing! 7y

JanuarieTimewalker13 That's so scary. I think it's bc the soil suffers from all the pesticides, also. 7y

EchoLogical @Jess_Read_This Yeah store bought tomatoes are pretty salty. It's sad because you think you're eating fairly decent by using more fresh ingredients only to discover the food isn't as nutritious as you think. 😔 7y

tpixie @Jess_Read_This pumpkin sounds fun!! I'll post a picture- but your tomato 🍅 plants are beautiful!! 7y

AmandaL I planted sweet potatoes and heirloom green beans this year. So far the rain has destroyed my green beans. I have to wait one more month to see how my sweet potatoes faired. 7y

Scurvygirl Between the pesticides and preservatives we have been ingesting our whole lives, it's no wonder people are sick with food allergies and chronic illness. I love my garden, your tomatoes look great! 7y

tpixie @AmandaL good luck 🍀🍀🍀 7y

AmandaL @tpixie Thank you! I need it! 7y

Debiw781 Ahhhh you're making me miss my tomato plants! It was too dry to plant this spring ☹️ 7y

Jess_Read_This @AmandaL Sweet potatoes?! How cool! How do you plant them? Post a pic! I'm such a novice gardener and have no clue how potatoes grow.. other than they need to be in dirt. Lol! (edited) 7y

Jess_Read_This @Debiw781 Oh no! Try porch pots! My brother does his in porch pots and loves to send me bragging pictures how his are already turning red and I'm still impatiently waiting on my green ones to turn. 7y

Jess_Read_This @Scurvygirl Thank you! I couldn't agree more with you about the preservatives and pesticides we are ingesting. It's scary! I often say we are mummifying ourselves from the inside out with all the preservatives that are in food now. 7y
