A tip straight from the berry farmers themselves! Put a paper towel in your plastic shell and then store the berries upside down in your refrigerator. This will help absorb the excess moisture and prolong your berries life in the fridge!

Not every farming method works for every food or in every environment. I recently toured an area that is the number on market for frozen raspberries. Raspberries are very soft fleshed with high moisture, making them susceptible to growing mold… a quality that is only exacerbated in moist air. For that reason, the produce is all grown conventionally so that it can be protected from mold and bring you a safe product.

Farmers make their decision based on the market, the needs of what they are trying to produce, and the environment that they will be producing in! I think this is so interesting and is one of the reasons why I advocate for a mix of systems.

There are scenarios where processed foods are the better option and that’s not a bad thing. The creation of some “processed foods” have occurred to meet the needs of consumers and goes beyond “fun with candy.”

Some processed foods get nutritious options, like milk, back into people’s diets. Some processed foods get food on the table in general. Some processed foods enhance food safety and reduce food waste while keeping colorful foods as an option in the diet.

Reminders- growth happens in a surplus and under tension… and that’s true for muscle growth too!

I see so many influencers say their growing muscle mass came from their insane protein intake… and while protein certainly supports muscle growth and recovery after exercise, it is not what is solely responsible for GROWING your muscle.

You need to get into a surplus… going OVER your normal resistance training with things like more weight, more time, or more reps. Along with strength training, I would add more calories to my intake to allow for growth.

And this is truly just the beginning of the list. While so many people blame processed foods for basically every problem we experience as a population, there have actually been tons of benefits including health improvements, disease near eradication, food safety, and product options for people with dietary restrictions or allergies simply because of processing and our understanding of how the body works.
